Mnet 'L1VE WIRE' captured viewers' hearts with its emotional stage that soaked a midsummer night and a trendy playlist.
The 11th episode of Mnet 'L1VE WIRE,' broadcast on 29th, featured Lee Seok-hoon, Heize, So Soo-bin, and Crush, who shared their fan loves and musical inspirations, bringing both laughter and emotion.
The first stage started with Lee Seok-hoon's representative song '10 Reasons to Love You.' After 10 years, this song continues to be loved. He said, "This is the song that made me who I am today. I'm grateful that someone sings it as a zombie when it's about to be forgotten," while also confessing, "I always feel the pressure to surpass this song." He continued, "This song is often sung as a congratulatory song. I remember singing it at the wedding of a friend who has been a fan since my debut, and the groom looked at me like he was saying, 'You have come this far.'" His confession drew laughter. He went on to mention the nickname 'Guilty Human,' saying, "It is true that this saying came about because of me. It's embarrassing, but I'm thankful," and he recreated the routine of making eye contact with fans, showcasing his unique 'Guilty Heart' charm and causing a stir in the studio.
The artist Lee Seok-hoon pointed out was Heize. As she appeared on stage with 'I Don't Know You That Well,' showcasing her unique voice, MC Jung Jae-hyung exclaimed, "An artist whose voice is a brand."
In particular, MC Jung Jae-hyung raised the question, "Does copyright revenue from 'It's Raining' come in steadily like a pension?" Heize replied, "Actually, copyright revenue tends to decrease over time, but in summer, during the rainy season, and when it rains, the graph shoots up. It's a song that continuously pays me back with gratitude," garnering envy from everyone. In response, Lee Seok-hoon commented, "Seasonal songs are definitely necessary for singers," expressing continuous admiration.
Lee Seok-hoon and Heize harmonized 'It's Raining' on the spot, filling the summer night with emotion. Heize expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thanks to you, I can sing on a good show," to which Lee Seok-hoon responded, "I am happy to sing together as a fan," showing warm chemistry between seniors and juniors. He then broadcasted the full stage of his new song 'I've Grown Up,' released on the 26th, for the first time, leaving a deep resonance.
So Soo-bin, who was directly pointed out by Heize, sang 'Things We Will Meet Again Someday,' capturing moments of youth with her clear and refreshing voice. Heize confessed her fan love, saying, "When I was a radio DJ, I played So Soo-bin's 'Tell Me' for the listeners during my last broadcast," while So Soo-bin expressed her excitement, saying, "I never expected it. I saw you singing 'Tell Me,' but I never dreamed we would connect like this."
So Soo-bin showcased her own lyrical world with stages of 'Stay' and 'Tell Me.' Heize continuously admired, saying, "Your voice is like a treasure," while Jung Jae-hyung and Code Kunst praised it as "music that makes people curious."
Crush, who So Soo-bin identified as the 'hero who made her start music,' burst onto the stage singing 'Sometimes,' overwhelming the audience with his deep vocals. He expressed sincerest gratitude, saying, "After my herniated disc surgery last year, I felt a void, and So Soo-bin's 'The Gift of You' became a great comfort."
The two performed 'Don't Forget Me' as a duet on the spot, delivering poignant emotions. From the audience came cheers of, "Let's exchange numbers." Crush added, "I got so focused on Soo-bin's song that I even missed my part," and expressed his desire, saying, "If there's a chance, I would love to work together," escalating the atmosphere.
Crush then revealed, "This is a song that I tried to make with positive vibes while working out and creating music," and for the first time unveiled the title song 'UP ALL NITE' (Feat. SUMIN) from his EP 'FANG,' released on the 28th. The final stage featured Crush's 'Rush Hour (Feat. j-hope of BTS).' From the start, the stage was filled with an enthusiastic roar that made it feel like a concert, as Crush elevated the atmosphere with his unique energy and presence. With the audience's enthusiastic cheers, he unexpectedly treated them to a surprise encore performance of 'Outside,' creating a fiery atmosphere with a gift-like stage.
