Chapter 245
While Jung Dajun was seriously speculating about the correlation between Seo Hoyun’s cryptic kindness and “seasickness,” the Noeuls were enjoying every day thanks to Kang Ichae, Kim Sunghyun, and Seo Hoyun’s dazzling performances on variety shows.
In particular, the reaction to Seo Hoyun, who surprised people every week with his skill on Perfect Singer, was explosive.
[Perfect Singer this week’s episode is legendary.....]
Some criticized the show as being scripted, claiming that whether or not a contestant could sing all the way through such a mission determined the outcome. But as famous singers came on and were eliminated one after another, those criticisms gradually faded.
Naturally, the public’s attention turned to Seo Hoyun.
【The song I’ll be performing next is Lage sunbae’s “Act Natural.”】
After winning 1st place for two consecutive weeks, Seo Hoyun made an unexpected choice.
It was “Act Natural.”
A masterpiece released five years ago by Lage, a contemporary R&B singer. Upon release, it swept every chart on music platforms, and in every café across Korea, this song could be heard playing.
But “popular” didn’t mean “easy.”
Although it had an addictive beat, the syncopated melody already made the song difficult, and Lage’s voice was almost criminally good.
To match its rich sound, the singer needed to add technique without getting swallowed by the melody or overshadowed by the original. Naturally, most singers avoided covering it.
