“Animated music video?”
“Yeah, Jeongyeon already got permission. It was kind of ambiguous to do a nertube with a picture.”
“That’s right. The picture content itself is not enough to upload a You Tube video. But since when did you call Lee Bi-nim Jeong-yeon?”
“It would be better to sell a personal gram for the purpose of posting pictures.”
“Well, there has to be a place to post the finished picture. No. But how are you going to draw the animation? Since when did you call me Jeongyeon?”
“Oh! Yesterday! Since yesterday! I looked for a tool and bought it already.”
“Damn bastard. Proud bastard. Envious bastard. Now living and living and producing a one-man animation. I’m doing everything. Then, is there anything I can help you with right now? Other than editing the existing video?”
He had already installed a screen capture board for video editing related to animation production, so he seemed to have nothing to do.
“Be sure to take pictures when you are drawing and when you are working. I can do the editing.”
“Okay. Then I’ll start right away?”
“Oh hey. Try your best again. I’m going to have to edit it. I’m glad there are plenty of videos to edit.”
Song Jae-ik smiled and sat down in front of the computer and took a deep breath.
On one side of the monitor is a storyboard written while listening to the lyrics. The speaker kept playing After Love Passed over and over again.
’24 digi in one second. Did you say that Korea has an average of 8 to 12 sheets?’
If you consider filling a 4 minute song with at least 8 frames as youtube said. This meant that he had to draw 1,920 pictures. 1,920 sheets of not only the character but also the background color of the character alone.
Of course, Song Jae-ik had no intention of going that far.
It’s not that I’m making an animation with some craftsmanship, it’s literally for the purpose of filming on You Tube.
Isn’t it just a matter of using various functions of the program as well as drawing? Of course, it was clear that this would not be an easy task at all. It’s not a job that can be finished as soon as you think.
However, Song Jae-ik fell into the monitor screen at a frighteningly fast pace.
I had already conceived a rough scene through a storyboard, and Song Jae-ik’s talent reduced the hesitation of his drawing hand.
‘The beginning is the excitement right before the date. I need to draw flowers and a bright feeling. Even an effect tailored to the direction the light is coming in.’
Every time Song Jae-ik’s hand moved on the monitor, a line was drawn, and lines were piled up to create the shape.
And the shape was appearing as the most ideal form of painting that Song Jae-Ik thought.
‘Hmm. Are you doing well?’
Eom Kang-seok, who had been editing for a while, stretched and opened his eyes in surprise when he saw the monitor over Song Jae-ik, who was quietly concentrating.
‘This crazy…’
Because something I couldn’t understand was happening right in front of my eyes.
I thought it was simply an animation for a light music video, but what does that quality mean? And what is that speed?
‘No, did you just think of this as something to do lightly?’

After the album was released, Jeongyeon began her activities vigorously as if she had waited.
The 10th anniversary of their debut, their first full-length album in 6 years. In addition, the album was the center of the topic even before its release, and after it was released, the sound of it being the best ever was coming out by itself.
Perhaps thanks to that, Jeongyeon often talked to Jaeik Song whenever she had free time. There were many excuses. One day I was talking about the album, the other day I was talking about broadcasting, or even talking about the music video I talked about the other day.
– Are you listening to the album on the streaming site?! You can’t just listen to the CD!
“Of course. I keep listening to it over and over again. It’s really good. The song.”
– The response is very good. Especially duet songs are no joke! Because the community is really roaring. Besides, I heard that malicious commenters are deleting malicious comments.
In addition, the current music charts were literally lined up with Jeongyeon’s albums.
Of course, not all songs made it to the charts. In the middle, other songs took their place, but it was unmistakable that it was an all-time record.
– ah! And I think it will go on air with a duet song soon. There are a lot of invitations asking if I can appear in a duet song here and there. In particular, the song I sang with Jaeik is the most requested. I really hope they come out as a duet and sing it.
Because the response to the duet song was so good.
That’s why Jeongyeon also planned to continue promoting with a duet song after finishing her title song activities. As it is the 10th anniversary of our debut, we were thinking about concerts and various entertainment activities.
“Puha. Really? I told you. It’ll be fine.”
– Thank you very much. Thanks to that, a good album was able to come out.
Song Jae-ik smiled awkwardly at Jung-yeon’s gratitude. It was because the benefits he received were insignificant.
– But Jaeik, do you have a program you want to appear on? In the current situation, I think I can go out anywhere.
“Well, I don’t know much about the entertainment world. If Jeongyeon picks a good place, wouldn’t it be best to follow her?”
– Hee hee. Also, right? If anything, it’s always good to appear on senior Yoo Jae-hyung’s music program.
“Oh! Yoo Jae-hyung’s music love letter! I like it too!”
My 10-year experience in the entertainment industry was telling me that. He said that this album will definitely be the best of his all-time albums. And I was already on my way.
If this was accompanied by Song Jae-ik’s piano performance and duet shown on the air, it would definitely be perfect.
That’s why I was talking about Yoo Jae-hyung’s music love letter. Because it was a broadcast that could only show the musical side, excluding the most everything.
– By the way, how’s the work going?
“Ah. Painting work. It’s going well. I think I can send it to you soon. Um… maybe a week?”
– Five! a week? What are you looking forward to?
“Don’t expect too much.”
Since it had only been about two weeks since Song Jae-ik first brought up the topic of painting, Jeong-yeon naturally assumed that what she had thought was correct.
It was good though. Because I knew Song Jae-ik’s drawing skills. Also, I wonder what kind of picture he draws to match his song.
And if the results are good anyway, wouldn’t it be a small gift for the fans?
– a! No matter what the result is, Jaeik will definitely show more than I thought! To be honest, if I had the time, I would have filmed music videos for all the duet songs. I’m sorry I didn’t have time for that.
Jeongyeon felt sorry for that part. I expected the song to be good, but most of them didn’t properly predict that it would show such an enthusiastic response.
– anyway! Now it’s time to start singing again. Contact us anytime if you need help! The representative said so too. And when the broadcast appearance is confirmed, I’ll give you another call!
“Yes! Fighting today!”
“Yeah. Sesame is pouring so much. Huh? Then, would you like to enter Muse Enter?
After Song Jae-ik’s call ended, Um Kang-seok opened his eyes and raised one corner of his mouth. Certainly, the number of phone calls with Lee Jung-yeon has definitely increased recently.
“Did you drink alcohol while editing? What nonsense are you talking about? It’s about a duet song related broadcast.
Even with that answer, Um Kang-seok did not let go of his suspicions, but his eyes lit up at the mention of broadcasting.
After the album was released, Lee Jung-yeon had only been doing solo activities until now. Of course, he occasionally gave me news of his current engagement or plans for the future over the phone.
“What about You Tube? Should I go with a vlog? A vlog isn’t bad. Anyway, I was going to edit this animation work video by mixing it with a vlog.”
“We have to be sure of the parts that can be filmed. Anyway, appearances on TV are also records.”
Of course, broadcast appearances are more likely to be uploaded on You Tube by editing the broadcast rather than filming.
“But can you complete that music video in time?”
At Um Kang-seok’s question full of doubts, Song Jae-ik measured the remaining amount and nodded slightly.
After I first announced that I would make an animation music video, I was spending all my time on it, except for playing the piano in the practice room.
I didn’t know because there was no clear reference point, but according to Um Kang-seok, the work speed was at an absurd level, so it must not have been a lie.
“I’m going to dig into the category soon and promote it. If I do well, I’ll get over 100,000 subscribers here?”
100,000 subscribers. It was a kind of gateway-like number for those who do you tube. At the same time, it was also a realistic goal for Nutubes who challenged themselves as if they were heading on the bare ground.
“Well, anyway, knowing that, I’m preparing. I have to finish.”
Actually, I told Jeongyeon and Um Kangseok that it was a week, but that was the time it took when the inspection and all the work were very leisurely.
In other words, if you just look at the completion, it means that it will be possible within the next 3 days.
[Jaeik! Yoo Jae-hyung’s music love letter broadcast was caught! They said okay right there! Instead, a duet with piano is a must! By the way, the broadcast recording is in 4 days!]
Song Jae-ik laughed when he checked the contents. I felt like I had to speed up my work. It would be better to see the reaction directly when you meet.

“Are you sure he’ll come out today?”
Yoo Jae-hyeong asked PD Go Se-jun, who has been sharing the joys and sorrows with the program for five years while receiving makeup.
The man who is in the middle of an issue right now. Naturber. Channel name Challenge Everything. And the singer Dongchul hyung talked about.
“Are you more interested in that nertuber than Evie?”
“Of course. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a singer that Dong-chul hyung praises like that. Did he say he’s a strange guy?”
“It’s definitely worth it. He’s stingy with compliments. But the main recording for today is Evie. Don’t forget that! That’s a special feature!”
“A one-to-day broadcast. Don’t worry about that. Instead, if that YouTuber is better than I thought, I’ll do it my way.”
Go Se-jun nodded at Yoo Jae-hyung’s words. To be honest, it was a comeback special for Evie, but it was the YouTuber who was chasing issues right now. As long as the line was properly followed, it was just thank you as a producer.
No matter how high-quality a music broadcast is, in the end it was because the viewer ratings were important.
Song Jae-ik, a YouTuber, was a perfect fit in that sense.
“I received a text message saying that the two of you arrived together. I will guide you to the waiting room, so when you’re done putting on your makeup, go and say hello.”
“Really? You’re here? Good!”
After the makeup was finished, Yoo Jae-hyung left his waiting room as if he had waited, and moved to the waiting room where Evie and the Naturber were.
To be honest, I asked Go Se-jun to put in a duet with that YouTuber in this special comeback broadcast.
I don’t know why, but after the album was released, the song that the YouTuber participated in became an issue, but it didn’t show up.
As it turned out like this, rumors that had subsided with the release of the album reared their heads again.
smart-
“Hello Evie!”
The door opened and Yoo Jae-hyung greeted vigorously and entered the waiting room.
“uh···?”
“Ah! Hello. My name is Song Jae-ik.”
Only Song Jae-ik, who is making a shy expression, accepted the greeting of Yoo Jae-hyung, who is making a puzzled expression.
Everyone in the waiting room was concentrating their eyes on the tablet screen with a surprised expression on their faces without thinking about receiving Yoo Jae-hyung’s greeting.
“uh. Because of the music video.”
“Music Video?”
Yoo Jae-hyeong was also a singer, so I wanted to find a music video that would take away the souls of so many people, so I pulled my head out and watched the video.
After a while.
“Really? Is it going to be revealed for the first time at Love Letter?”
Yoo Jae-hyeong held Song Jae-ik’s hand with a happy expression.
