Singer Hye-eun shared the behind-the-scenes of her new song 'Water Scales'.
On the 17th, singer Hye-eun, celebrating her 50th anniversary since debut, appeared as a guest on KBS1's 'Morning Yard'.
That day, when asked about her new song 'Water Scales', Hye-eun revealed, "Water Scales is the shimmering of the surface when sunlight reflects on it. It's a bit different from the ripples. The ripples are reflections of standing trees or shapes in the water; to differentiate, that's how it is. There's nothing to differentiate, but it turns out it's a song by Hanni.
In response, anchor Eom Ji-in was surprised, asking, "Isn't this the trend these days?" Hye-eun replied, "In one program, two people were performing so well. But I could only watch for a moment, so I told my manager, 'Find out who those friends are who appear on that program.' It turned out it was Hanni. So we decided to go. And we went. We didn't have a close relationship."
When asked about the reaction at that time, he joked, "Suddenly, it became a state of unconsciousness" and said, "They were so happy and very thankful. While they were humming a few songs, they expressed a desire to sing lyrical songs, and just a month later, I had created the song. But the moment I heard that song, my heart raced. It was truly a long time since I felt that emotion. So I thought it was fascinating."
Anchor Kim Jae-won commented, "The song is refreshing. It's sung comfortably," and anchor Eom Ji-in noted, "It's not easy to sing a song that feels comfortable to listen to." Park Ae-ri also admired, "It's comfortable for us because the teacher is singing it."
Anchor Eom Ji-in asked, "How long did it take to complete the recording?" and Hye-eun responded, "After about 3 practices, we went directly to the recording studio. I think we sang it three or four times. We record songs in the old-fashioned way. Even now. The reason is that when you keep cutting the song, the emotion gets interrupted. So, even if the song isn't perfect, we push through with that feeling and emotion. These days, it's done by cutting it. It's hard to discuss how to do it, so I just asked them to sing it a few times."
Then Lee Kwang-ki said, "It's been 50 years, but I've been a fan since I was young. I closed my eyes to listen, and the voice hasn't changed since then. It was nice to hear it was solid yet showed experience." Kim Jae-won asked, "Did you try to lower your voice from that time?"
In response, Hye-eun said, "It's not like that. It's an ironic song. I didn't intend to create that sound; I just went into the recording studio and sang. It turned out to be a lower pitch than how I usually sing, by about one note. So, for those who are following along with my song, since my song is a bit high, lowering it makes it easier. Since I liked how the song came out emotionally, naturally that voice came out. I didn't touch it. Just the sound as it is."
He was asked about his thoughts on the 50th anniversary and said, "My heart always feels like I'm in my 20s. So, I worry about the fact that my heart doesn't age. I have to follow the years, but my body follows along." He smiled, and anchor Kim Jae-won remarked, "It seems your body is also slowly keeping up," adding, "Whenever I see you on 'Let's Live Together' talking to others, you still seem pure." Anchor Eom Ji-in also added, "There's always a girl-like feeling."
