Mnet 'L1VE WIRE' captivated viewers with an amazing stage of harmony, radiating emotional energy among the artists and a family-like chemistry.
In the 6th episode aired on the 25th, the Mnet 'L1VE WIRE' featured the All Day Project (Annie, Tarzan Bailey, Woochan, Youngseo) to Hanhae, Soyou, and Lee Changseob, with artists who each have different musical colors gathering to present interesting talks and performances. Among them, the collaboration between Woochan and Hanhae added to the emotion, revealing the deep connection and special relationship built through Mnet 'Show Me The Money 6' (hereinafter referred to as Show Me 6).
The first to appear, the All Day Project left a strong first impression with 'FAMOUS.' The members showcased their individuality, fully demonstrating their artistry. Following that, the glamorous pre-debut histories of each member were revealed. Woochan shared, "I became famous through 'Show Me 6,' and when I was in middle school, many people came to see me, and the cafeteria window broke. My homeroom teacher called me and asked, 'What are you doing?'" Tarzan confessed, "I developed a love for hip-hop naturally while studying abroad in the U.S. for a short time," while Annie, regarding the title of 'the chairman's daughter,' stated, "I want to change that narrative positively by showing more of my musical and performance skills. Everywhere I go, people talk about 'the chairman's daughter,' which is something I have to bear," earning applause for her composed response. Youngseo humorously said, "I'm a former kids' YouTuber. I'm the oldest here," bringing laughter, and Bailey revealed, "I have been dancing since I was two and a half years old as a K-pop choreographer," surprising everyone with an impromptu dance.
The artist chosen by the All Day Project was rapper Hanhae. Woochan expressed, "I was on the same team as Hanhae hyung during 'Show Me 6,' and he has taken good care of me since then. He is like an uncle to me. I hoped to stand on a magnificent stage together after my debut," adding, "I've sent messages to hyungs every year saying, 'See you on stage.' I've come this far for this moment," evoking emotion. Hanhae replied, "The first time I saw Woochan was eight years ago. We became close while working with Dynamic Duo hyung's team. I was moved to see him debut with the All Day Project." Thus, the stage for 'N분의 1' was realized for the first time in eight years, where rapper Noksal made a surprise appearance, leading to an emotional scene of Woochan, Hanhae, and Noksal hugging each other in joy. It was a meaningful moment that went beyond a simple performance, singing together after eight years.
Amid the heated atmosphere, Hanhae invited singer Soyou, saying, "There are 51 teams that I have collaborated with. I want to make music together at least once and be team number 52." Soyou exploded with ballad emotions while singing 'I Miss You' and remarked, "I felt good that someone pointed me out." Soon after, the two reminisced about their first meeting at a neighborhood mart, where Soyou noted, "At that time, I was watching 'Show Me,' so even though I didn't know him, I had an internal closeness with Hanhae. I remember greeting him excitedly and then feeling awkward afterward." In response, Jeong Jae-hyung added, "Doesn't that mean you recognized each other? You just need to maintain that goodwill from now on," adding to the laughter.
As Hanhae continued to express his love call for Soyou, he shared, "I went to Indonesia with my Geeks friends, and coincidentally, it was the day the royalties were coming in. At that time, 'Officially Missing You, Too,' which Geeks had sung with Soyou, had done well, and I saw an unbelievable amount in royalties. That was when I first realized that if music does well, you can make money like that. So, for me, it's a meaningful song," requesting this song as a duet and creating a beautiful two-shot.
After the sweet chemistry exploded with Hanhae in 'Officially Missing You, Too,' Soyou soon displayed close chemistry with Lee Changseob, born in '91. Soyou said, "We were born in the same year. He sings so well that it's cool. I would like to make an album together," recalling Lee Changseob. Upon hearing this, Code Kunst remarked, "This was the collaboration Hanhae was so eager to do with Soyou..." making a playful comment that lit up the studio. Shortly afterward, the two shared how they became close because they found a common denominator through being introverts after getting to know each other on SHINee Key's birthday, and confessing that he is a friend who is supportive when seeking advice, they showcased their special friendship. In particular, they presented an unforgettable stage to the audience through 'We Were So Good,' demonstrating their friendship as peers born in the same year as well as their musical connection. Code Kunst added, "I'm so envious. It feels like you're carrying instruments inside your body. I can't do anything without electricity," sharing a funny confession that added to the laughter. Soyou also surprised fans by revealing, "This is the first genre I'm trying in my 15-year music career," unveiling the stage for her new song 'PDA,' successfully expanding her musical spectrum with a unique style and powerful performance.
The finale was Lee Changseob's stage. He sang 'Cheonsangyeon,' which topped the karaoke charts last year, saying, "I stirred up the atmosphere at Waterbomb this year and sang the ballad 'Cheonsangyeon.' The director said that I was the first person to sing an authentic ballad at Waterbomb," sharing a delightful anecdote. He then brought the audience to their feet with his fiery new song 'Bureng Bureng,' heating up the summer.
The unique joint stage, which showcased reconnection with musicians who have been with him from the beginning of his music career and meetings with fellow musicians he wants to collaborate with, completed an unforgettable harmony that allowed one to feel not only chemistry but also a human connection that transcended simple collaboration. And at the center of it all was 'L1VE WIRE.'
