[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 17th, Shin Seung-hoon appeared as a one-day master on SBS's 'Master in the House' and created a logo song together with the members.
On that day, the Master in the House members visited the practice room to meet their master, Shin Seung-hoon. Lee Seung-gi speculated, "If that is him, I haven't really seen him much on variety shows." Finally meeting their one-day master Shin Seung-hoon, the members greeted him one by one with handshakes.
Shin Seung-hoon revealed materials where he had organized songs that did not fit him into folders named after singers. Those folders included artists like Rain, Psy, and also Jeff Bernat. He then shared an anecdote about Jeff Bernat calling him "hyungnim" (older brother) and personally requesting a song, surprising the members.
Especially when Shin Seung-hoon played a snippet of an unreleased song he made for Jeff Bernat, Lee Seung-gi said, "You haven't signed a contract yet," leading to a comical scene where the members competed to ask for the song.
When Lee Seung-gi asked, "I heard that the title 'National Singer' was first given to you, Master," Shin Seung-hoon replied, "A reporter gave me that title. But now, young people don't really know who I am, so I'm not a national singer but a 'Gu-min' singer," making everyone laugh with his self-deprecating humor.
Lee Seung-gi also mentioned that Shin Seung-hoon has never done a CF (commercial film) until now. Shin Seung-hoon responded, "At the time, the CF atmosphere didn't seem to match my sad music, so I didn't do it," and honestly added, "Once you don't do it, you keep not doing it, and now I really regret it." He then sincerely advised Cha Eun-woo, "Eun-woo, work hard while the tide is in your favor."
The Master in the House members headed to Shin Seung-hoon's hideout pension. There, they played a game where Shin Seung-hoon sang a line of a song and the members had to guess the title. All the members were enthusiastic, but especially Shin Sung-rok proved he was a true fan with his outstanding skills.
Shin Seung-hoon also created the Master in the House logo song. When Cha Eun-woo said, "Shouldn't we decide on a genre?" Shin Seung-hoon advised, "The most important thing when writing a song is the keyword." Then the members made requests like "comfortable and exciting," "catchy," and "impactful," putting a heavy burden on Shin Seung-hoon's shoulders.
However, when he soon presented an impromptu song combining the members' opinions, Lee Seung-gi admired, "It's good," and Cha Eun-woo also liked it, saying, "It's refreshing." As the members continued to request styles like grand and rock star, Shin Seung-hoon freely poured out melodies, making Shin Sung-rok laugh and ask, "Please make four songs so we can play them separately each quarter."
The SBS variety program 'Master in the House' airs every Sunday at 6:25 PM.
