“Everyone, from now on, I’m going to twist and drag the seedlings of the years. You guys should be just like me. Are you ready?”
When Ga-hwang Na Hoon-ah asked the audience through the screen, a scream was heard. Vulcanization is “Come on!” He roared vigorously, then transformed into a sleeveless shirt and ripped jeans and brought out a complicated tune. In fact, the years were colorless.
On the 30th of last month, KBS 2TV broadcast the non-face-to-face concert ‘2020 Mid-Age Korean Again Na Hoon-ah’ which was a unique opportunity to appreciate her singing, show and stage directing ability that did not even fade in his 70s. For Na Hoon-ah, this is a visit to the home theater after 15 years.
According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company on Day 1, the audience rating for this concert was 29.0%. Excluding KBS 2TV’s weekend dramas, this is a rare figure.
By region, Busan was the highest with 38.0%, followed by Daegu / Gumi with 36.9%. Seoul also posted 30.03%, topping the 30% level in three regions. Also, 27.2% in the metropolitan area, 22.4% in Gwangju and 27.2% in Daejeon.
◇ Freely join the exquisite window … “I have not seen the king or president who took his own life because of the people.”
Na Hoon-ah appeared in this performance without pay for people who are tired of prolonged coronavirus infection (Corona 19). On the 23rd, in Korea, Japan, Australia, Russia, Denmark and Zimbabwe they performed with 1,000 viewers online.
This year, the seventy-three Na Hoon-ah performed 29 songs over two long hours and a half, leading the performance with overwhelming charisma and energy without a sign of exhaustion.
The ability to push, pull, bend, and stretch the sound was free, like the ‘scream’ modifier. At times, he wowed the audience with a song of mourning and tickling, and sometimes powerful.
The three-part performances organized on the theme of hometown, love and life are ‘Hometown Station’, ‘Hongsi’, ‘Love’, ‘Mushiro’, ’18 Years Old Soon ‘,’ Weeds ‘and’ Return Youth ‘. It featured hit songs representative of Na Hoon-ah.
‘I have a lover’, ‘Myungja!’, ‘Tess hyung!’ Included in the new album ‘2020 Na Hoonah’s Nine Stories’ released last month. Also the scene of new songs like etc was launched for the first time.
In particular, ‘Tess Hyung!’ It was a song that went by word of mouth to ask Socrates “Why is the world like this?” And “Why is time like this again?” Na Hoon-ah said, “I asked him and he said he didn’t know Tess hyung,” and said, “You can’t seem to do anything without you or me.”
“Would you like to see it well without seeing it?”
In a dialogue with announcer Kim Dong-gun, he confessed the history of rejecting the medal and revealed his philosophy for singing.
“The weight of the years is heavy, and the weight of the singing profession is incredibly heavy, but if I give a medal, how do I bear that weight? The people who write songs, make songs and sing in front of you must have the soul free”.
He did not hesitate to reveal his beliefs. To KBS, he said, “I hope it is a broadcast for people without realizing this and that.”
“Even in the history book, I have never seen a king or president who said that they risked their lives for the people. It is you who protected the country,” he said. “If the people have the power, there cannot be a legal man.”
◇ From Korean traditional music to rock … Put the boat on stage and do the cable action
This performance showcased Na Hoon-ah’s broad musical spectrum for ten minutes. While unraveling the melodies of a traditional song, she would spin slightly with light movements on ‘Soon-i, 18’, and sweet acoustic music on ‘Kalmuri’ and ‘Binari’.
He also collaborated with junior musicians such as singer Harim who played the harmonica, pianist Jinbora, and rapper Gunjo.
Part 3 ‘Life’ began with a magnificent ensemble featuring Korean musicians such as ‘Weeds’, which Na Hoon-ah sang while drumming, and ended with the intense rock sound of heavy metal band ‘Method’.
Stage production on an overwhelming scale has also moved into the bedroom. Tickets for the Seoul concert, which Na Hoon-ah opened for three days at a gymnastics stadium with more than 10,000 seats last year, sold out in eight minutes, proving the reason for its popularity with viewers.
In the first song, ‘The Ship to Hometown’, Na Hoon-ah appeared on the prow of the sea in a storm. She also did a duet scene flying on a wire and showing herself in the past on a black and white screen.
The screens surrounding both sides and the front of the stage changed the atmosphere moment by moment through media art effects.
Na Hoon-a digested a variety of outfits, from jeans to pink jackets to hanbok durumagi, and even showed off a special price by placing a partition on the stage and changing clothes.
Like the title of the performance, the last song ‘The Man’ concluded with cheers to get stronger again. A graphic representing the Corona 19 virus burst into flames.
Na Hoon-ah, who emphasized that “we can definitely top the crown,” was sucked to the bottom of the stage after finishing the song, then swam into the sea to rescue the glowing ball. And a huge Taegeukgi was carved out of the sea.
There were many announcements from large corporations, etc. for Ga-hwang’s appearance, but there were no tentative announcements, as if the flow of performances was considered, and no streaming service was provided.
This concert attracted attention online and offline from the early morning of the day until the night after the performance. The interest of the younger generation was also high, and ‘Tess hyung!’ Etc. also ranked at the top of the streaming music charts.
To appease viewers’ regret, KBS will air a documentary ‘Korea Again Na Hoon-A Special-15 Years Out’, which contains Na Hoon-ah’s preparation process and the production team for 6 months at 10:30. pm on day 3.
