Yoon Soo-il expresses his joy at being in the spotlight again thanks to ROSE's ”APT.”
As BLACKPINK's ROSE gains global popularity with "APT.", Yoon Soo-il is once again attracting attention, and he expressed his gratitude.
ROSE released the song "APT." in collaboration with Bruno Mars. It not only topped the Korean music charts, but also became a huge hit worldwide, collecting Hot Topic awards.
"APT." is a song inspired by the Korean drinking game "Apartment." Thanks to this song, Yoon Soo-il's music is also in the spotlight.
On the 23rd broadcast of MBCFM's "Song Tae Jin's Trot Radio," Yoon Soo Il appeared by phone and talked about the recent situation in which the song "Apartment" has been attracting attention again.
Song Tae-jin said, "BLACKPINK's ROSE's 'APT.' is the hottest song in the world right now. She collaborated with Bruno Mars and it's already a big hit even though it's only been five days since it was released.
"However, the music video is close to reaching 100 million views, and has also topped all the music charts in Korea."
He continued, "Bruno Mars is singing this song based on the drinking game 'Apartment'.
Many people will remember Yoon Soo Il's "Apartment" when they hear this song. It was released in 1982 and describes the apartment boom at the time. Yoon Soo Il's "Apartment" is also a song that depicts the apartment boom at the time.
"Yoon Soo Il's 'Apartment' video has received various comments. 'Congratulations on the reconstruction,' 'Those who came after listening to ROSE's song,
"There are also comments such as, 'I want to talk about it.'" He added that overseas internet users call him 'former Zu K Apartment.'
When I tried to make a surprise phone call with Yoon Soo Il, he said, "Rose's song
I listened to it. The ideas of ROSE and Bruno Mars were brilliant. I'm very happy that they are working worldwide with the same theme of "Apartment."
There is a 10-year age difference between the two generations, and the atmosphere now is very different from 40 years ago. The trends in music have also changed. ROSE's songs are addictive, have good hooks, and are light-hearted. My songs have also changed over the past 10 years.
I have never missed the top spot in karaoke. I wrote this song when I was busy with creative activities, and the melody and rhythm are simple. I am grateful to everyone who sang along to this sad song.
It turned out like a song. It wasn't my intention, but I think it's something I'm proud of about my songs."
