deep in the sky

April 2009, 3, sunny.

Today is the day when Lee Seung Hyun announced the sound sources of the 10 songs included in the solo album, and it is also the day when his solo album "RED" is officially released on the market.

Lee Seung Hyun did not return to the apartment where he lived with his brothers, nor did he stay at the company, but returned to his hometown of Gwangju, to his home.

At this time, he doesn't want to contact anyone at work, he just wants to stay in a home full of warmth, rest well, and quietly wait for the results after the release of the album.

The reason why Lee Seung-hyun chose March 3th as the release date of his first solo album is very simple. March 27th is the day when he was reborn and woke up in this world, including his fashion brand V&I, This is the day when the VI company used to invest in real estate construction is officially established.

This day has a different meaning for him.

The theme of "RED" this time is just like the name of the album, which is "red". The cover of the entire album is covered with a large piece of slightly sunken white twisted rose patterns on a pure white background. It is a red rose that is about to bloom, and the bottom edge of the album is the logo with the word 'RED' in the shallow depression.

Among the 10 songs in the album, 3 of them are "strongbaby", "cometomy", and "gegebe" that have been formed in the previous life.As for the girl feat in "Gegebe", Minzhi was in charge.

After all, Minzhi is from the same company, and she has a good relationship with her, and her voice suits this song quite well. Moreover, Yang Juhua has already set 2ne1's debut date, which is the same as her previous life, on May 09, 5. day.

In January before, 1ne2 and Bigbang released a commercial song "Lolipop", which can be regarded as a familiar face in front of the public, and the collaboration single with myself this time can be regarded as a different meaning publicity.

Just like the "forever with you" co-produced by Park Chun, GD and TOP a long time ago, or the MV heroine played by Dara in Taeyang's "Ineedgirl", etc., are all the company's publicity strategies.

The other 7 songs are new songs written and composed by Lee Seung-hyun himself. One of them, "Red", is the main title of this album. Lee Seung-hyun is also very satisfied with the effect of the MV. Some thoughts I want to express.

To be honest, he is still somewhat looking forward to the reaction after the release of the album.Although it has been praised by his teammates, Brother Teddy also expressed his appreciation, and Yang Juhua also showed a rare expression of satisfaction, but from the bottom of his heart, he is still a little nervous.

This is the first and only time in his life that he has produced a whole solo album, not a single album, nor a mini-album, but a truly complete and complete official solo album. In addition to "Strongbaby", the team leader He wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and the other nine songs were written and composed by himself, and he independently supervised the production. Of course, he is looking forward to the results after the album, but at the same time he is also apprehensive.

This is a review of his music production.

In his previous life, he didn't have that much experience at the beginning, and he didn't have such good resources. Compared with his dazzling brothers in terms of music, he was always a bit bleak.

But after going through one life, he came back again. He has more experience in this life, and the experience of the previous life gave him more inspiration. He is no longer limited to vocal, and the company pays more attention to him.

So, maybe he can really look forward to it?

The huge success of "RED" has exceeded everyone's expectations.

From 3:27 am on March 10th, ten songs including the title song "Red" were announced. One hour after the release, at 11:[-] am, ten songs on CYworld and Mnet, one of the representative music charts in China, were released. The songs all occupy the top ten.

At the same time, the title song "Red" broke the chart 5 times in a row within 12 hours after the release of the sound source, and the rest of the songs continued to break the chart as time went by.

From the "RED" album released on March 3 to the end of April, sales have exceeded 27 copies, ranking first in the album sales chart.Among them, the title song "Red" has been downloaded as many as 11 times, also topping the list.

The release of "RED" played its huge explosive power, causing huge waves in the entire Korean music industry, showing the strength of the highest domestic idol members, and the name 'VI' also officially stood at the center of the entire Korean music industry.

Lee Seung-hyun is still in a busy state recently. Due to the huge sound effect of "RED", after a whole month of busy playing songs, he plunged into the company's June solo concert plan middle.

The planning of the program, the transfer of personnel, the guests to help out, the design of the lighting and choreography... and a series of projects have to be discussed with the company's planning department one by one.

In addition, the design of V&I's new summer style must be improved as soon as possible. It is expected to expand the V&I brand to Japan before the end of this year.

Victory Academy has also been formally established in Seoul in early May and started operation.

A batch of properties produced by the company VI, which was registered in 07, have been developed and officially sold, and the land of Xinjing has also been put into development...

在5月初的时候，YG公司就已经开始为这场演唱会进行宣传，而第一期6月1日的1万两千张门票仅仅在10分钟之内便被抢购一空。公司便决定在6月2日再追加一场演出。

Lee Seung-hyun spent a lot of thought on this solo concert, and prepared some exciting sessions. Since some of the sessions in this concert are designed to be "big" in scale, in view of the personal experience of the team leader in his previous life, Lee Seung-hyun will Let the company have already applied to _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And precisely because of the "[-] bans" restrictions, the concert has already attracted the attention of all parties before it even started, and many fans expressed their great anticipation for the performance of the concert.

Just when Lee Seung-hyun felt that the dark circles under his eyes, which had finally faded a lot due to the regular life before, seemed to be deepening again.

In this life, his body, which had been conditioned with great difficulty through the nutritious diet and moderate exercise in his youth, was getting more and more exhausted, and his mental state was about to be so busy that he went crazy——

On the evening of June 6st, his first solo concert "Secret Night" finally kicked off at the Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Arena.

The huge venue is full of VIPs holding crown lighting. They either hold a big crown light board with the word 'VI', or pull support banners with various cute fonts. The whole stadium gathers into a crowd. A large sea of ​​crowns.

As all the lights in the venue were suddenly extinguished, the huge display screen on the stage gradually brightened from black to a warm pink light, and soft music also sounded...

At the corner of the pink wall, Lee Seung-hyun slowly leaned out from one side, his black hair resting on his forehead, he was wearing a white shirt, two black suspenders from the waistband of his trousers The position extends upwards, resting on his shoulders on both sides.

The appearance of a pure and good boy.

He walked forward step by step with some curiosity, and what came into view was a long corridor. The floor of the long corridor was paved with black and white rose patterns, and on the pink walls on both sides were closed doors one after another. Door.

He walked forward step by step with some curiosity, looked around the surrounding doors, and walked through a door with the number '17' engraved on the door, he continued to walk forward, turned his head, and passed another engraved door Looking at the door with the number '18', finally, he came to the end of the corridor.

There is also a closed door at the end, and the number on the door becomes '19'.

He lifted the straps on both sides of his shoulders a little awkwardly, and approached step by step with excitement and trepidation. Finally, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the door...

In the room, a man in black was dozing off with his hands propped up against the table. Behind him was a large row of metal safes.

Li Shengxuan went to sit in front of the man in black, smiled at him, and then handed the card in his hand to the table in front of the man in black.

The man in black with a hat picked up the card, examined it carefully, then nodded, turned around and took out a safe from the row of huge shelves behind him, and placed it in front of Li Shengxuan.

At this moment, the background music began to gradually become gloomy.

Lee Seung-hyun sized up the man in black, then carefully lifted a corner of the safe, inside lay a brass key carved in the shape of a rose, his face sank for a moment.

At this moment, a black figure flitted past the corner of the wall that Lee Seung-hyun passed just now. Through the silhouette, one could vaguely see that he was wearing a formal suit, with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and his slender fingers tugged at the neck tie. With a bow tie, he walked step by step in the promenade.

Li Seung-hyun in the room seemed to have sensed something, he turned his head a little uneasy, and looked towards the door.

At this moment, the man in the corridor had already taken out a pistol from behind and held it in his hand. With a push of his left and right hands, the gun was loaded. His steps became more and more rapid, and finally he opened the door.

Lee Seung-hyun's eyes widened, and then there was a "bang--" gunshot, and a blob of red was fainted on the left side of his chest. He was shot in the heart by the man who pushed the door and entered, and fell to the ground with a bang. Tears slowly fell from his eyes...

The screen cuts to the man shooting at the door.

He was still holding a gun, and as the camera zoomed in, a face exactly the same as Lee Seung Hyun came into view.It's just that this face looks more mature, and his eyebrows are deeper. His hair is not obedient black, but messy white.

The man blinked at the camera, then turned around and walked out of the room slowly...

"Bang bang bang-"

The fireworks around the stage rose suddenly, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed above the venue.

Lee Seung-hyun suddenly appeared in the center of the stage. He was wearing a black shirt with a wide open neckline. The necktie extending down from the neck slightly covered the exposed chest. A black suit and black trousers match perfectly.

The night wind blew past, and the white hair swayed slightly.

Amidst the screams of all the VIPs in the venue, the dance music of "Strongbaby" suddenly pierced the sky above the entire venue. Li Shengxuan raised his jaw slightly, and his handsome profile became deeper and deeper under the changing light: "2009 in Seoul, make some noise!"

The screen shows a black and white checkered background, flickering lights, and dances with the group of dancers in unison, sideways, crotch, head up, and hands-off, all of which interpret strength and beauty. His forehead hair is slightly soaked, and his open collar reveals his slender collarbone. His white hair and black eyes occasionally cast aggressive glances at the camera, making him hopelessly sexy.

"Strongbaby" ended, and then Lee Seung Hyun sang a slightly quieter new song "Cloudy Sky" from this album.

After singing "Cloudy Sky", Lee Seung-hyun slightly pulled the tie around his neck, and smiled at the VIPs in the audience: "Ah, there are a lot of VIPs here today..."

There was screaming from below.

"Thank you for coming to my solo concert today. To be honest, I was a little apprehensive before. After all, this is my first concert, and it is also the first time I have left the team to perform alone. The stage is a bit empty..." After a pause, Lee Seung Hyun blinked lightly, "So I hope everyone can fill the hyungs' positions with enthusiasm, okay?"

"Okay—" the screams continued.

"Well, although I'm the maknae in the team, there is a maknae younger than me in the company, who is it?"

"Minzhi—"

"That's right." Lee Seung-hyun nodded and smiled, "It's that GeGebe—"

A brisk piano sounded, and Kong Minzhi slowly appeared from the lifting platform on the other side of the stage.

Li Shengxuan walked towards the other party: "I sent a text message to ask where you are, and you said that the coffee shop in front of your house..."

After singing "GeGebe" with a lively and playful style, Lee Seung Hyun sang a new song "Byebye".

The lights gradually dimmed, and some colorful colors gradually emerged on the screen. With the shaking of the camera, it gradually became clear into a scene in a noisy nightclub.

All kinds of people are swaying on the huge dance floor, and the colorful laser lights blur their movements one by one. The colorful wine, charming women, and the shocking DJ reverberation converge into this dark and ambiguous noisy place.

The camera continued to shuttle through the bustling crowd, and finally fixed on a stage. Lee Seung-hyun was wearing a black and white striped T-shirt, a light blue jacket over it, and a black baseball cap on the back to make him white Her hair was pressed down on her forehead, faintly covering her eyebrows.

He stood in front of the DJ booth, tried to adjust the audio track output line behind the Mixer mixing console, then put one side of the earphone on his left ear, looked at the camera, and slightly raised his thin lips: "Let'sh□□eaparty !"

"Bang——" the fireworks around the stage exploded suddenly, and a DJ booth rose from the center of the stage. The rectangular desk was paved with white, but a large bright red rose bloomed in the center, and a big red rose was engraved under the rose. The Roman 'VI' logo.

"you like it?"

"yeah!"

The thick Dubstep reverberation crossed the night sky of the entire venue, and the ever-changing mix of "strongbaby", "Last Greetings" and "Fire" changed into a powerful and shocking beat under his control. The VIPs in the venue They excitedly waved the crown lights in their hands, kept swinging with the rhythm, and screamed constantly.

Hanging half of the monitor earphones, ending a cuepoint switch, Lee Seung-hyun shouted loudly towards the sea of ​​crowns below: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the colorful world!"

As soon as the voice fell, the deep and rapid bass sound mixed with the synthesized electronic sound of "Flower World" sounded.
