Singer Yoon Soo-il said that thanks to Blackpink member Rosé, 'APT.' sparked a resurgence of his song 'APT.' after 42 years.
Yoon Soo-il will share his reaction to his song "APT." climbing the charts again because of Rosé's global hit "APT." on the 22nd episode of MBN's Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night, which will air on the 25th. "It was shocking," Yoon Soo-il began, "Even ordinary apartments where we live are redeveloped after 40 years. Perfect timing for redevelopment," he said, expressing his gratitude to Rosé.
Yoon Soo-il, who will soon embark on a nationwide tour concert marking his 50th anniversary since debut, raised expectations by saying, "Shouldn't I meet Rosé too?" and saying he plans a world tour that includes the United States, Japan, and Australia and New Zealand where Rosé grew up. Attention is focused on Yoon Soo-il's plans for active engagement even in his 50th year since debut.
However, Yoon Soo-il revealed the crisis of being forced into a hiatus when media appearances were all stopped just after the release of the national hit song "APT.", shocking listeners. Questions are raised about why Yoon Soo-il's broadcasting appearances were blocked when "APT." was released and what unimaginable methods he ultimately used to turn "APT." into a hit.
Additionally, Yoon Soo-il reportedly said he personally created not only the song title "APT." but also the Konglish notation "APT," which exists only in Korea, sparking interest. The behind-the-scenes story of the title of "APT.," which created a sensation in the music scene at a time when titles dealing with joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure were dominant, arouses curiosity.
Yoon Soo-il said the inspiration for the lyrics of "APT.," such as "crossing the bridge where starlight flows" and "your lonely apartment where no one is," actually came from an apartment in the Jamsil area that is now filled with a dense forest of apartments, giving a striking sense of the passage of time. Attention is focused on why Yoon Soo-il could draw lyrical inspiration for "APT." in the early 1980s in the Jamsil area.
Yoon Soo-il also revealed that the iconic intro of "APT." — the "ding dong ding dong" doorbell sound — was born by chance from an incident involving the yogurt lady, which made the set burst into laughter. Yoon Soo-il said, "Whenever I see the yogurt lady, I'm so grateful that I sell to her," raising curiosity about the behind-the-scenes story of the "APT." intro.
