"Groups to attend Sam Smith's concert in October"... Formation of hip-hop group 'Unbalance' with 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' and Rado

The members of 'Hong Kim Dong Jeon' will challenge the global market this time. The project prepared by 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' and hit maker producer Rado has been unveiled.

In the 43rd episode of KBS2's 'The Tale of Hong Kim Dong', which aired on the 29th, the background and starting point of the special project aimed at this summer by the members and Rado were drawn. At the time of the last 'MZ Generation's Fresh Life Project' filming, the image of the members seriously requesting song work from Hong Jin-kyung and Rado, who asked, "Can you give me a theme song for Hong Kim Dong-jeon?" caught the eye. Rado is deeply troubled by the members' persistent love calls, even though he says, "I rarely do outside work," and starting from Joo Woo-jae's words, "I fell for us," he said that the genre that the members fit in with was hip-hop, and a hybrid of the 2000s such as turtle and jaja. Mentioning the group, he made the members flutter by drawing specific pictures. “I must be crazy,” he said, “I’m trying to move my mind. I was moved by his serious attitude,” and Hong Jin-kyung said, “Why are you so good to us?”

The members greet Rado at a Korean restaurant. Rado, who appeared with a boxed brown rice lunch, was greeted enthusiastically, and everyone in one voice suggested food, saying, “This is not a place to talk about work.” Rado said, "If the energy doesn't match, I can't work together." After continuing push and pull, Rado announced that the last song of the year would be a project with Kim Dong-Jeon Hong, and said, “I like to do things that everyone says no to,” making the members laugh until the end. Rado, who said, “I saw the hidden potential and wanted to try it,” even named the team “Unbalance” and began to materialize it. Then, citing pop star Sam Smith's move and fashion as an example, he encouraged them with the words, "Jinkyung noona is only a step away from Sam Smith," and even revealed the title of the song "Trouble," igniting the members' enthusiasm.

Time to announce the unbalanced costume concept and song selection. Wooyoung, the first hitter, chose the disco funky genre of the 70s and 80s, and picked 'CHIC' as his role model. While Rado admired Wooyoung for thinking about the concept, outfit, and music style, Joo Woo-jae made Wooyoung, a full-time singer, grab his back by saying, “You look like a real musician.” Joo Woo-jae brought the title video of the youth melodrama 'Feeling' in the 90s and substituted five main characters: Kim Sook-Woo Hee-jin, Hong Jin-kyung-Ivonne, Jo Se-ho-Son Ji-chang, Joo Woo-jae-Kim Min-jong, and Wooyoung-Lee Jeong-jae, and Wooyoung said, "I can't handle it". I bought an empty stock. When Kim Sook came wearing a costume using Hanbok, Rado was satisfied saying, “I got a feeling.”

Hong Jin-kyung showed off the concept of the 'ROCK CHIC' mood to the level of singing skills that exceeded expectations. However, Rado was confident that it was lip-syncing mechanical sound 9 and Hong Jin-kyung's voice 1, and joked, "AI is good at singing." Jo Se-ho was appointed as the official rapper of Hong Kim Dong-jeon after giving a feel-filled stage with his unexpected rapping skills, and Joo Woo-jae also got the nickname 'MC Woo' from Rado for his rapping skills that attracted even the soul. Kim Sook selected 'Hungbu is amazing' and raised everyone's excitement to the highest level. Rado asked Hong Jin-kyung to sing again, and Hong Jin-kyung said that the tone of her voice matched the best, and tried to sing IU's 'Night Letter'.

But Rado did not give up. “It’s because my sister is the center. The genre is changing because of my sister,” he encouraged, and Wooyoung, who was watching, said, “The album couldn’t come out because the singer and producer didn’t agree like this,” and made everyone laugh. To Kim Sook and Hong Jin-kyung, who are burdened with singing, Rado said, “You can do it enough. It's not about being number 1. Billboard,” he said, “It would be faster to go to the Billboard than to go on the air with Music Bank No. 1,” making everyone nervous. Enticed by Rado's aspiration, "I want Unbalance to stand on the opening stage of Sam Smith's concert in Korea in October," the members had a great time just imagining it.

Then, the Paldaeya game prepared in the sense of welcoming Rado began. Jo Se-ho said, “Do you have any extra underwear? I have a lot in my car,” making Rado anxious. The members who decided to put Rado in the second seat of Ma passed the coin toss to Rado, and even the staff joined forces to complete the seat arrangement for Rado. The game started in a familiar atmosphere, with Joo Woo-jae delighted and Woo-young saying, “It’s accurate, it’s perfect,” to Rado, who is worried about having a heart attack because the water is too cold. In a situation where most of them poured over each other's pants, it ended in failure amid Rado's complaint, "Say something and pour it," but after relocating the seats, breathing gradually came into harmony, and the amount of water passed the mark, announcing success. The Hong Kim Dong-jeon members and Rado Producer, who confirmed their resemblance through the game, announced a pleasant start to the large-scale project.
