"The Seasons-10CM's Ssedam Ssedam" cheered on the departures of those dreaming new dreams.
On Oct. 17, the KBS2 music talk show The Seasons-10CM's Ssedam Ssedam featured Soran, Kim Yong-jun, Yang Da-il and Crying Nut, who heated up Friday night with passionate stages.
On the first broadcast of 10CM's Ssedam Ssedam, Ko Young-bae, who visited as a celebratory delegation with Lee Seok-hoon and had completely captivated 10CM's spirit, broke through 10CM's earnest "ban on approach" and reappeared on that day as the band Soran. Seeing a more seasoned MC 10CM compared with the first broadcast, Ko Young-bae said, "The familiar expression is relaxed so it makes me angry. You're so good," showing a "real-friend moment" of bickering chemistry.
Soran announced that it will switch to a single-member system with Ko Young-bae after its concert in January next year. Ko Young-bae expressed regret to fans, saying, "If we explained in as much detail as possible why we made this decision, I think you would understand," and showed firm trust in 10CM by saying, "If it weren't for Kwon Jung-yeol, I don't think I would have thought about appearing (on the broadcast)." 10CM also cheered on Soran's future and surprised them with a gift by singing Soran's "It's Okay." Soran left a lasting impression with a performance of "I Had a Dream," the title track of the last album as a three-piece.
SG Wannabe's Kim Yong-jun colored the autumn night with feeling with a performance of "How to Forget You." Kim Yong-jun recounted stories that caused laughter, from standing up to a heavy downpour on an outdoor stage of Open Concert to having to do a "keep laughing challenge" after a spectator suddenly rushed in during a busking. 10CM, who called himself a "busking expert," elicited laughs by sharing unique tips with Kim Yong-jun on how to handle unexpected situations and maximize revenue.
Also, because of Lee Seok-hoon, who was born in 1984 and is quick, Kim Yong-jun and 10CM, whose lineage got tangled, sorted out their forms of address on the spot, and 10CM fired a rebuke at Lee Seok-hoon, saying, "For the sake of peace in the music industry, everyone use polite speech," which drew more laughter. Kim Yong-jun said, "Since two friends from SG Wannabe have started families, I also want to get married. I want to marry at least before I turn 45," sharing his dream. He then sang "Soulmates" with 10CM, showing sweet chemistry, and performed the new song "Breath" for the first time on broadcast.
The new segment of 10CM's Ssedam Ssedam, "Indie 30th anniversary project — life music," featured first-generation representative indie band Crying Nut as its first guest. Praising Crying Nut, who raised the mood with hits such as "Isn't It Good" and "Run, Horse," 10CM said, "The first song of my first concert in my life was 'Run, Horse'," and shouted out to Crying Nut. Crying Nut replied, "10CM is from the Hongdae indie band scene, so we've seen him for a long time. It's touching that he's become the MC of such a big project and that we can appear," responding emotionally.
Crying Nut, a foundation and living witness of Korea's indie music history, stirred interest by revealing anecdotes from the live club "Drug," where the indie scene was born 30 years ago, and mentioned No Brain and 3rd Line Butterfly as recommended guests for "life music." Celebrating its 30th debut anniversary this year, Crying Nut said, "I ran without thinking and it's moving. I want to run harder and go to 60 years," before prompting everyone to sing along with performances of "Shabby Pub" and "The Night Has Deepened."
Yang Da-il, the "body balladeer" with exceptional physicality, said, "These days I rest from exercise one day a week. I used to work out twice, but now I only do one hour," updating fans on his condition. On why he has worked out so hard, he said honestly, "I've always been obsessive about building the body, but in the early days of my debut, everyone said you have to be thin. My weight at debut was 58kg. But since I'm not an idol and not someone who relies on looks, I started exercising again."
Yang Da-il left his long-time agency and made a fresh start independently. He said he decided to stand on his own to find his original intention, and 10CM encouraged him, saying, "I didn't expect you to speak so honestly," offering praise. After going solo, Yang Da-il said, "It's changed more than I wanted, so it's hard. It's not just about finding my original intention; if I don't pull myself together, I'll die," which drew laughter. He then presented deep emotion by performing the new song "When It Rains" for the first time on broadcast.
Meanwhile, The Seasons-10CM's Ssedam Ssedam airs every Friday at 10 p.m. on KBS2.
