Ten Million Psychopath Actor
Chapter 16
16. I don’t know if it will help, but I’ll give it a try.
OST i.e. Original SoundTrack
These days, the importance of OSTs, whether in dramas or movies, is increasing day by day to the extent that it is not an exaggeration to say that the perfection of OSTs plays a part in the success of dramas.
It was rare, but sometimes OSTs became more famous than dramas.
As the status of OST has risen, the OST, which was mainly sung by guide vocalists in the past, now has a higher status, so there are cases where an unknown singer meets one OST well and becomes a top singer or has her singing ability re-examined.
Usually, the music producers of the drama music team are in charge of producing OSTs, but they decide the concept of the album and compose it themselves.
Music director Kang Cheol-joo, who is called an ‘owl’ because he works overtime until a satisfactory result is produced, successfully completed the production of OSTs for ‘A Flower Blooming in Memories’ and ‘An Ordinary Day’, which were aired last year, and recently TVM’s drama ‘Pygmalion’. He was in charge of the production of the OST for ‘Counter Effects’.
Because of this, Kang Cheol-joo was in a situation where he ate and slept in the studio for several weeks while composing, recording, mixing, and even mastering the OST songs to be included in ‘Pygmalion’.
Perhaps thanks to his hard work, 6 of the 7 OST songs he composed were almost completed, leaving only the last one.
“No matter how much I listen to it, I like this song the most..”
Kang Cheol-joo recalled the only song received from outside among all 7 songs.
“It’s a love song… How the hell did you compose a song that gives you such a feeling?”
At first, Kang Cheol-ju was not in a good mood because the drama production company asked for one song to be included as an external song.
It was because he didn’t seem to fully trust his own skills.
Also, because he had confidence in his own songs, he had never received a song from outside while in charge of OST production.
However, when I heard the song Yeonmoga (戀慕歌), I stopped working and fell in love with the song.
Kang Cheol-joo has listened to countless pieces of music in his life, but the feeling given by the song Love Song is unique and special.
It was completely different from the songs that have been released in Korea so far.
However, if you ask me if I am similar to foreign pop artists, it was not that.
It was a song that gave off a unique melody and feeling, enough to be considered a new genre.
But if you ask me if it’s heterogeneous, it wasn’t even that.
It was obviously an unfamiliar melody line, but my ears quickly got used to it before the three bars had passed, and the melody continued to linger in my ears.
“see. Recording date in a week? Vocals… Heart Signal Jeonggyeol. Write it.. Idols are different..”
In the past, a large agency put pressure on the production company so that an idol with no skills was the lead vocalist, and I recorded an OST, but the song and tone didn’t match, and I didn’t have the skills, so I couldn’t go home and worked all night to make it work through mixing and mastering. This was the steel wine that came to mind.

After hearing the news from his agency that the recording date for the OST of Love Song had been set, Midwyeol stayed awake for several days.
“Oh! How to! i love it. I can finally record as a solo vocalist!”
Winter, who buried her face in the pillow and screamed for joy, recalled the love song she had sung dozens of times a day for the past few days.
“The love song really gets more attractive the more you sing it. In addition, I’m more attached to it because it’s like my baby.. Let’s stay still. Then, will Kyu-ha oppa become a father? Hey, what are you saying?”
Mid-winter, who was trembling alone on the bed, jumped up as if he had suddenly remembered it.
“ah! Should I ask Gyuha oppa to go with me when we record the OST? It must have been before the shoot anyway.”
Winter sent Kyuha a KakaoTalk message.
– [Winter] Oppa oppa! sleep? Aren’t you sleeping already? (Doubt emoticon)
Fifteen minutes later, Kyuha’s reply came.
-[Kyuha] I’m just practicing my lines at work hehehehe
-[Winter] All~ As expected, the lead actress~! (Thumbs up)
– [Winter] It’s no different, oppa, if there’s nothing special on the 19th, can you please listen to me? ㅠㅠ (Emoji please)
– [Gyuha] The 19th? It’s okay, but what’s going on?
– [Winter] At that time, it was the day of recording the OST of Love Song at the studio, and I thought that oppa would come too. My brother is also a composer, and I think I’ll gain strength if I go with him… Can’t I go with him? (Emoji please)
There was nothing special that day, and he was curious about how the love song he composed would be transformed into an OST in the present era, so Kyu-ha readily agreed.
– [Gyuha] Okay then let’s go together. see you that day
– [Winter] Oh yeah! thank you brother!! (Heart to heart) See you on the 19th at 10 am! I will send you the address separately.
Winter clenched his fists.
“Yess! done! I think the recording will be better if oppa watches it. Oppa is my human totem.”
In the winter snow, he was a man who couldn’t resist anything. Winter, who felt that Gyu-ha would solve any problem, was greatly encouraged by the fact that Gyu-ha would go with him.

On the day of recording the Love Song OST
Director Kang Cheol-joo went to the studio early in the morning to prepare for the OST recording of Love Song. And around 10:00, Han Winter and manager Han Sol-hee entered the recording studio together.
Midwinter was a bit nervous, but greeted director Kang Cheol-joo with a bright voice.
“hello. Director! It’s called Midwinter! Good luck with your recording today. We will do our best!”
“Nice to meet you. Mr. Winter. My name is Kang Cheol-ju, the music director. I wish you well today too. Let’s sit here for a while and have a cup of coffee.”
Director Kang Cheol-joo, who gave Winter and the manager a cup of warm drip coffee, talked about the concept and recording of this song.
“Wait a minute, Director!”
Winter hurriedly took out a notebook and pen from his bag and began to write down what director Kang Cheol-ju was saying.
‘Hmm.. unlike kids these days, he’s kind and sincere.’
Kang Cheol-joo’s appearance in winter, actively questioning himself and writing down diligently in his notebook, didn’t look bad, and I thought that this recording would go well.
“By the way, where did you get this love song? I don’t think you’re an ordinary composer for a song like this.”
“ah! A love song? hehehehe the song is really good right? As usual, the composer said he would come to the studio today.”
“Oh, the composer himself?”
Just in time, the entrance to the studio opened and Kyu-ha arrived.
“brother! Here it is!”
Director Kang Cheol-joo looked at Kyu-ha’s face and put on a worried expression.
“I think I’ve seen it somewhere…”
“Are you the director? hello. I ask you to sing.”
“Gyu-ha… Song Gyu-ha… Huh!? Are you a male actor in this drama?”
“Yes, that’s right. You have good eyesight. You don’t usually recognize me.”
“Then the song of love is Mr. Song Kyu-ha? No, how…?”
Director Kang Cheol-ju thought the song was written by an established composer at least when looking at the novelty of Love Song and the level of perfection of the song.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to call it a composition. It was just a song I made as a joke when I was young, but Winter sang it well.”
“her···. It’s amazing anyway. The person who made the song is Kyu-ha, who is an actor.”
Director Kang Cheol-joo was surprised, but recording was the priority, so he prepared a full-scale recording of the love song.
“Now, first of all, Mr. Winter will go into the booth and relax.”
Winter went into the booth with a slightly nervous look and briefly cleared his throat to familiarize himself with the lyrics once more.
“Now let’s begin.”
Starting with director Kang Cheol-joo’s autograph, recording began in earnest, and the first official love song resonated in the studio.
[I lost my way with you, I don’t feel any emotions.
My heart aches and I can’t breathe well
I want you to hurt me, so I won’t be sad anymore
It’s a feeling of falling, this feeling of falling into the dark
I don’t even know where to go
I only look at the stars and in the end I wonder about you
Are you looking down on me?]
Kang Cheol-joo concentrated on listening and, like a PD who is famous for his tricky directing, ordered Winter to do this and that.
“Georeum-san was really good, but he sings the first part with as much effort as possible. And let’s put all our strength in Sabi (highlight). Do you understand?”
“Yeah! Director, I will try again!”
Winter nodded with a determined expression, and soon director Kang Cheol-joo’s OK sign fell.
“Yes. That will be fine. I’ll take a little break and then I’ll do it.”
Even in the middle of winter, I came out of the booth and listened to my own song recorded with Kang Cheol-joo.
Kang Chul-joo frowned as if he didn’t like something.
“The song is fine… but something is a bit disappointing.”
Even in the middle of winter, I felt regret because I did not feel the emotion I received when I first heard the love song from Kyu-ha.
“As expected, there is no sound of oppa’s flute playing, so it feels very empty.”
Kang Cheol-joo, who had been thinking hard for a long time, asked Winter with a question mark floating in his head.
“Full flute? Does it have the original grass flute sound?”
“Actually, when my brother first played this song, he played it with a full flute. Listening to it, I think the grass flute sounds better than the flute.”
“A grass flute… a grass flute… It’s so new, isn’t it? Are you Kyuha over there? Could you come over for a moment?”
Gyu-ha, who was sitting at a table drinking a cup of coffee, heard a voice calling her and went inside the booth.
“Gyuha, you said you could play this song with a full flute? I’m a bit disappointed, but would you like to play the accompaniment with the grass flute?”
Gyu-ha was silent for a moment at the sudden request, but eventually nodded as he saw mid-winter staring at him with earnest eyes.
“I don’t know if it will help, but let’s try.”
After picking a fresh leaf from a tree planter in the studio, Kyu-Ha and Winter went into the booth.
“Thank you very much, brother! I will do my best!”
“You’re doing well enough, winter. Just do what you do.”
That’s how the prelude began, and Winter sang with all his might.
At the beginning of the interlude, Kyuha’s full flute was added.
I’m sorry~
wheely lily~
“That’s right!”
The unique sensibility from the grass flute made the song more lyrical, and this created a unique harmony with Midwinter’s voice.
“OK! It was so good. Well done to both of you.”
Director Kang Cheol-joo made the OK cut with a good feeling because the quality of the song was much higher than he expected.
“Thank you for your hard work, Director!”
That’s how the recording of the love song for the OST of ‘Pygmalion Opposite Effect’ was successfully completed. Winter, who came home exhausted that day, sent a KakaoTalk message of thanks to Kyuha.
– [Winter] Oppa, thank you so much for coming today! Thanks to that, I think the recording went well. [Best]
– [Kyuha] It was nice to have a fun experience too hahahaha
– [Winter] When the time is right, I’ll buy you something delicious!! Come to think of it, I just received too much.
– [Gyuha] Okay, let’s go eat something delicious later.
“Aww! Isn’t this actually a date~? No… I don’t think so… Kyu-ha oppa only sees me as a younger brother… Is there anything I can do about it? It’s pretty popular. Ah~ I don’t know. But Kyuha oppa is good at anything and seems to be amazing… As expected, my human totem. oh my what am i saying! You should wash up quickly and go to sleep.”
In mid-winter, I went into the bathroom humming a love song after talking to myself in my room alone.
“But what style of girl would you like…?”
