[recording the lead song, 'GAMBLER,' today]
Oh oops
Hello.
[the songwriter appears]
I'm JOOHONEY.
Today,
I came to record the lead song of MONSTA X's album.
I haven't had the chance to
manage a lead song for 7 years.
[(clap) Honey producer's finally in charge of a lead song]
[puppy hiding] Origin!
I actually didn't have a clue
and just wanted to make something dope
with the members,
[so touched] but since we have a great opportunity
I believe that the members
will be really devoted.
As you probably know
we have
Jin Ho and Jae Won here,
the Ye-Yo brothers.
[Ye-Yo! Jin Ho Lee / Ye-Yo! Jae Won Ok] - Nice to meet you. - Since the
[MON CHANNEL 'White Love'] 'White Love' and
[MON CHANNEL 'Gone Bad'] 'Gone Bad' from the second album,
and even before our debut,
we interacted and
[so trustworthy] now we are managing the first lead song in 7 years.
[muted] [So proud of you JOOHONEY!!!!]
[muted] [SO PROUD!!!!]
[wipes tear] Mickey over there
[Keon Woo Kim / Laser] is working as a Laser.
Yes, as a Laser
and is working on
the top line and the lyrics with us
and isn't it the first lead song?
It's the first lead song so
Yes it hits me differently.
I would imagine so.
We will do our best today.
Please excuse me for speaking without my mask
for the comments.
I have a mask.
Besides, its a UNIVERSE mask.
[so good at being thrifty]
[Q. What's on for today?] So that it won't be delayed,
doing it Fast and
[swag overflow] cutting hair and doing hair makeup,
because I'm meeting up with Jae Joong today. [source : NAVER NOW]
Do NAVER NOW.
Say hi.
Converse, over.
Go home. Then it's 12.
Done for today.
[killed it] [slamming MINHYUK'S schedule on everyone's ears]
[first up for recording 'GAMBLER' is MINHYUK]
mysterious atmosphere
a lustful stare
We'll try again.
The 'uh' after stare is nice.
[being more careful as it is the beginning ]
It's getting better
and try not to
pronounce the end of words.
Mysterious... like
it'll be better to hit it and drag it along.
Uhuh
Don't hit it too hard though.
Okay.
[trying again with JOOHONEY's directions in mind]
Oooh
It's really nice.
You know how you were like 'stare Huh?'
Can you do that at the 'Huh' beat?
Oh oh should I try that?
Yeah, let's try that out.
[really bringing out the mysterious&lusty vibe]
Wait it crashed.
It crashed?
[the computer just shut down]
- It crashed. - Wait what.
- It crashed.
[remembering the importance of Ctrl+s again]
Don't you hear the octave?
Yeah, that's why I thought it was the octave.
You have a good ear.
Did you put it on top of the octave?
I put it with a machine.
Really? I didn't hear it.
That's why I thought there was one.
KIHYUN should be able to do it.
It's not possible for people?
Which one?
Above the octave is impossible.
[ham-fused] 'my shaking heart' with an octave.
That part?
That's impossible.
Yeah that won't work.
[squeezing the octave out]
[not electrocuted]
Okay, we'll start dubbing.
With the dubbing?
Yeah.
- We'll keep it if it isn't good. - We'll listen to it again.
Okay.
[idol professor's meticulous during work]
I want to make the first 'try it' cooler as well.
Okay!
Let's go!
[healing forward head posture listening to a cooler MINHYUK voice]
Okay.
I think this is better.
[me too] - Me too. - Okay, good good good.
[MINHYUK always achieves beyond expectations]
[o wow]
I asked them what hertz it was
and they were like you're the first to ask.
[innocent] I asked that because I listen to radios.
In cars?
Yeah.
Wow, that's cool...
[radio master] 94.5 is YTN News.
I watch things like news,
but I know less news than the others.
You know just now for example,
I did the 'keeping a Poker face with you in my hand' part,
and we just do it
like 'keeping a Poker face with you in my hand.'
But JOOHONEY's like
[gathering the power] Emmmm
He has that so
'Emmm with you in my hand'
Trying that
just doesn't work.
Even with tension it doesn't.
[practicing] 'keeping a Poker face with you in my hand.'
[grab] With the nose.
You emmm
Like it doesn't work. It's driving me crazy.
I'm so done.
I can't copy your energy.
MINHYUK, you're doing so well.
But it'll be different inside.
The feeling has to be perfect,
so it won't be easy.
Hey, where's my food?
MINHYUK is doing very well.
From my stance KIHYUN seems
to be the most adjusted,
because he's really good at yelling.
[Ahohhh]
- Wow - Keep it up.
I will. I need energy.
There's a high part in the end.
I have to go high. Let's go.
Wow
A natural featuring like this is very nice.
[HYUNGWON, still half asleep, arrived]
Oh, you here?
Yes.
I'll listen to JOOHONEY's and get some energy.
Okay.
[getting energy from JOOHONEY'S voice]
Good work guys.
Good work.
[MINHYUK made a good start]
Done with MINHYUK!
[a puppy shouldn't be good at singing as well]
This is probably the first time
MINHYUK is taking the highest part in our song.
Hey, HoneyJoo.
- How was it - Good job.
How was it?
First of all,
[dizzy from the music still ringing in his ears]
you know how I'm going to NAVER NOW after this?
Yes.
I used up all the energy to go.
I know right.
How was it? How was it?
But it was fun.
[100% honest] How did you do it, making the guide?
It wasn't easy.
Ugh
Next up is SHOWNU.
How do you think it'll turn out?
I think it won't take that long for SHOWNU.
Because his part,
It's like totally his right?
it's just one that he's good at.
Yeah, that's true.
It's not a honey line,
- Yeah x2 - but a SHOWNU line.
Yeah x2
So it'll end quickly, since he's always done it.
Is that it?
For SHOWNU?
No. 'If you bet all in it's a winning game'
It's his expertise.
SHOWNU is easy.
[Tizyu found his happiness after getting rid of the yoke]
[What are you doing?]
[a sweet kiss is heard outside the angle]
MINHYUK gave me a kiss.
It can't be on camera.
Do it again. Do it again. Again.
Okay.
[not breaking it, but adjusting the height]
Hey x5
Wow it's too high
Ah, ah, okay.
I'm falling in your smile
[confidently singing the SHOWNU line]
Seduced by your trick
[be like SHOWNU with his headset like a hairband, and relax]
[Q. How does JOOHONEY direct?] JOOHONEY emphasizes energy
and pitch,
and he tries to make it fun.
SHOWNU
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
I'm falling into your smile so sweet
Wow, the 'into your smile' is nice.
Let's keep this.
Keep this please.
[Chaeboogie showing maximum spirit in the back]
I'm falling into your smile so sweet
[SHOWNU's lines are going smoothly]
Seduced~ I think it'll be better to push.
Seduced~
Yes.
Falling into your smile
[seduced too much]
[wow]
[Ahahaoh]
He's definitely a singer.
Falling into your trick
[HYUNGWON looks cold after each verse]
With certainty
I found out your bluffing
The moment I fell
the trap on your red lips made me fall
[Kpop god warming up]
Falling
[let me tell you about when I got caught stalking an Applied Music student from our school]
I'm falling
It's nice, and more sticky.
[reaction-bot] Hang on. Let me keep this.
The 'lips touching' part wasn't in the guide,
but like
[↖↖↖lips] at the 'lips' part,
try to make it 'liiiiips.'
[let me get my glasses on]
[it worked] Let's try it like that.
Okay.
Falling into our lips touching so sweetly
[an oldies vibe suddenly came out]
Again, again,
let's try again.
One more time.
Again.
Can we try again?
Okay.
I think you're following JOOHONEY'S accent,
because you listened to his a lot.
But this part would be better
to go with your singing style.
JOHONEY's already stuck in his mind.
Let's go!
If you bet all in
Ugh, sorry let's go again.
[hydrating the throat from all the recording]
If you bet all in it's a winning game
Can you smile a little bit
at the 'winning game' part?
[+smile] winning game
No, not like that, not like that.
It'll be better to smile
just a little bit and sing.
[++smile] As soon as the deal is on
Okay.
As soon as the deal is on it's a race
[the second recording with SHOWNU ends happily] Can we listen to that part again?
It feels weird.
[screen-filling back shrugging for no reason]
Ugh
[chips after recording is life]
[num num num num]
[Q. What was listening to 'GAMBLER' for the first time like?] A very refined track.
There is a typical melody line for JOOHONEY,
which you'll know if you're a MONBEBE,
and I think the combination harmonizes well.
[nice comment] [a warm thumbs up scene]
Very
simply just a nice song.
Not like how it is
and getting better the more you listen to it,
but being like 'Woah what is this? It's a nice song. Dope.'
It's kind of like that for me.
[Q. Differences in members (JOOHONEY, HYUNGWON, I.M) in directing?] [crunch crunch] First of all JOOHONEY and I.M
are just different people
and have different tones,
but have a similar vibe.
So like until the best is achieved,
'One more time' or
'This style is better, that's better.'
JOOHONEY's like
hey bro like ah
that seems nice.
Chang Kyun is like
I think it'll be better if you do it like this.
Like that.
HYUNGWON was directing for the first time
so he didn't seem to get the hang of it.
But not only the director
but the person recording
had to be considerate as well.
HYUNGWON was directing for the first time
and we had a lot of experience recording,
so we communicated.
But HYUNGWON surprisingly made a lot of good songs.
[the most oldie person out of them] He's like a oldie,
but he makes good, refined music.
I've heard several of his pieces.
I feel like HYUNGWON doesn't write it,
but someone else,
someone he hired is writing it for him.
The songs doesn't seem like something that would come from him.
[SHOWNU is confused that refined can come from HYUNGWON]
[rustle]
I'll do a surprise attack.
[Q. A word to JUHONEY] To JUHONEY who wrote a lead song for the first time.
You'll go through a lot today,
because directing,
listening to the song intently until the end isn't easy.
Ugh I have to cut my hair.
[thread of thought keeps getting interrupted]
It's not going to be easy today,
but keep it up
and great job.
I'm leaving first.
I'm leaving.
Ok, bye.
[looks like he would barge through doors, but opens carefully
I'm leaving. Great work.
[intricate handling]
Wait, I'll go again.
Is it okay?
[INFP talking style] Sounds okay to me...
It's nice.
A little more sticky than this.
Okay, I'll add some honey.
The lyrics
mean 'What do you want.'
Yeah. W..W..What do you want?
Focus a little bit more.
Okay.
Push 'game' more like 'g-ame.'
G-ame
- Again? - Yes, again?
Again.
Okay!
[recording again after adding honey and focusing]
[not getting punished]
[a serious HYUNGWON is unusual]
[arghhh]
Why is it so hard? 'fresh'
I'll go again.
Don't make 'suit' stick out.
Yes. Drag it.
[dragging] Right. Don't make 'suit' stick out.
[MY sweatshirt ♥]
Okay.
[trying again while dragging it as much as possible]
It's getting better.
It's my suit is fresh,
but once you go in
Me too me too I thought that was it.
it only works like that.
It's kind of like
once you get stuck
It get's lagged.
- you can't get out. - Right.
- Great job. - Chang Kyun is doing a lot of abracadabra in there.
[HYUNGWON is a magician all of a sudden]
They're like HYUNGWON is doing abracadabra.
I'll try abracadabra.
- Good job. - Great work.
[Mr. Abracadabra is finally leaving] Good work everyone.
Good work.
Keep it up. Fighting!
Great work.
Abracadabra.
I hope you love it
and listen to it a lot, please.
I beg you!

Okay!
