[ENG] (두) 파이널 미션 발표 (둥) 에일리밴드 ⭐️최종 멤버 후보⭐️는 누구?! | [에일리밴드] EP. 7

Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00](The beginning of Ailee Band) I've been a solo artist for a long time But I've always had a thirst for band music (A new challenge: "Band") Rather than being a project where I evaluate others, I think of it as a journey to find my musical friends (A project to find friends to share Ailee's dream) Let's make music together and have fun [Ailee Band] (Audition video for Ailee Band (drums)) (Applying for Ailee Band Survival!) (Applying for the drummer of Ailee Band) We got way more applicants than expected - About 300 people applied - That's a lot So we'll do a first round video screening (27 applicants passed the video screening) (6 Drummers) (9 Guitarists) (6 Bassists) (6 Keyboardists) (In-person auditions for all parts complete) (Time to decide who advances to the finals) If I'm just going by star power, there's @@ and $ They each have different strengths and weaknesses, so... What happened with those four keyboard players earlier?

[00:01:01]%% is great at supporting the sound, and that tone would sound so good Pick one of the two Honestly, if it comes down to it, I'd go with ## We don't know how ## will turn out I think we'd need to check on that first So, final check on who made it?

[00:01:20]Drums Bassist Guitar... Keyboard... (After deliberation, the finalists are decided) Done Great work today, everyone!

[00:01:31]Okay, good work Let's go home!

[00:01:34]GOING HOME!!!

[00:01:35]I'm walking out and not looking back After a full 14 hours, we're finally clocking out (Hug) Good work You worked hard too - Good work - Let's head out, let's head out Great work, everyone Thank you so much to everyone who showed us amazing performances I love you all I love you, bye Should we do that too before we leave?

[00:02:00]We're heading out [Ailee Band] (Back to work right after clocking out) Today, I'm here to meet the Ailee Band finalists The reason I came to see them separately today is to give our Ailee Band finalists a mission Stay tuned to see what mission our friends will be taking on Why am I nervous...?

[00:02:32](The place where the finalists and Ailee will meet for the first time) (Drums) (Keyboard) (Guitar) (Bass) (Mumble) (The first finalist arrives?)

[00:02:51]Hello (Bow 1) Hello, hello (Bow 2) Hello Hello (Bow 3) Hello (Scrambling) Where should I put my stuff?

[00:03:05]Should I put it somewhere out of the way?

[00:03:11]Hello (Stick spinning master Drummer Lee Gyumin) (The essence of power drumming Drummer Ok Seongmin) (Overflowing with charm Guitarist Lee Junho) Wow, "Ailee Band" Do we put it on here...?

[00:03:31]Right?!

[00:03:31]As expected (STEAL HEART CLUB) He knows from experience No, not at all I'm a little nervous because everyone here seems to have a lot going on already Over here right now... (YouTuber "gyurummer" with 14 million views) You have the blue badge on Instagram (They followed each other on the day of the in-person audition) I'm so happy we're mutuals now I actually knew who Seongmin was (Me?) How?

[00:03:50]You're the drummer of Geoje Island... (Back when Seongmin was the top drummer on Geoje Island) I think every drummer probably knows who you are I even showed you to my students... (Surprised) Really?

[00:04:00]Saying this is how they should prep for auditions (Gasp) Thank you... Wow, that gives me chills I can hear someone coming up We already have two drummers, so the other parts should be arriving soon, right?

[00:04:11]Right Maybe two guitarists will come up at once That silhouette looks like it might be a woman... - Hello - Hello - Should we stand? - What's going on?

[00:04:31](Incredibly immersive Keyboardist Kim Eunchae) (Looks 9.5 / Skills 10.0 Bassist Ahn Sungjoo) (Beats even chewier than Dubai chewy cookies, Drummer Lee Seojun) (It was summer... Keyboardist Lee Hyeonseong) How have you been?

[00:04:47]It's been a while I came in with zero expectations Everyone was so good... I just came in with no thoughts at all... (Lonely) I'm still the only guitarist (While everyone catches up by part) - Hello - Hello How old are you?

[00:05:05]- I was born in '05... - Oh really?

[00:05:07]I was born in '04... Really?

[00:05:10]- Guitar... - Yeah, I play guitar It suits you (?)

[00:05:13]Oh, really?

[00:05:14]Thank you... (Awkward...) Bass suits you well Are you nervous?

[00:05:22]Not really nervous - it's actually fun, I like this kind of thing - Oh really?

[00:05:27]Is this your first time?

[00:05:28]Yeah, this is my first audition show (...) (Awkward... time for an icebreaker) This seems like it'll be fun (The guitarists Junho had been waiting for finally arrive?) Hello - Hello - Hello (Stage presence of a seasoned pro Guitarist Lee Uisoo) (Master of good vibes Guitarist Bae Jaeyong) (Great at playing standing up too Bassist Cho Eunho) (Came fully prepared Bassist Jeon Seunghun) (Master of sweet melodies Keyboardist Kim Seonggyeong) (All finalists finally gathered) They told us to relax and come... [Ailee Band] (Meanwhile, where's Ailee?)

[00:06:18]Let's head up I can hear a lot of chatter right now I wonder what they're talking about... Hello, everyone!

[00:06:33]Hello!

[00:06:35](Everyone stands) Hello!

[00:06:39](Overdramatic Ok) - Hello - Hello That gave me chills Nice to meet you all, you're all sitting politely?

[00:06:50]That's a lot of pressure - Nice to meet you all - Hello First of all, congratulations to everyone for making it to the finals, and thank you so much Thank you Seeing you all like this feels really good It feels great, and I'm really excited So, any guesses on why we're all here today?

[00:07:14]Has everyone been speculating?

[00:07:16]- A mission... - A mission?

[00:07:18]What kind of mission do you think it is?

[00:07:20]A jam session?

[00:07:21]- Team battle? - Team battle?

[00:07:23]Okay Let's reveal what mission is waiting for you today Right now? Right now?

[00:07:31]On TV!

[00:07:33]Just like that The final mission this time is a team battle (Just as everyone predicted, the final mission is a "team battle") That's right It is a team battle but just because you're competing as a team doesn't mean the whole team gets eliminated or advances together Within the team battle, we'll be looking at how well each of you works together harmoniously And we'll also be evaluating each of your individual skills, which musicians you click with, and how the sound comes together That's how the judging will work So even if your team doesn't perform well, it's okay!

[00:08:18]It's okay Yeah, it's okay Everyone will be judged individually, anyway I really want you to know you don't need to feel too much pressure We'll be announcing the teams right away along with the song for the team battle Whoa, the teams are already set!

[00:08:37]They had already been decided (Trembling) I'm so scared So it wasn't a random draw The criteria we used to form the teams was your playing styles along with the drum and bass combinations Then for the guitarists and keyboardists, we judged by sound who would fit best with each drum and bass pairing, and built the teams from there Let's go ahead and reveal the teams (Tension rising) I'm so scared I'm losing it (Calm down, my heart...) It's a real survival show (Team A's first member Drums: Lee Gyumin) Oh, so that's how it comes up (Team A's second member Bass: Cho Eunho) That's the photo from the interview (Team A's third member Keyboard: Kim Seonggyeong) - I'm so nervous - Can you see it?

[00:09:31]I can see it (Team A's last member Guitar: Lee Uisoo) Let's do this Let's go (FINAL MISSION A-TEAM) (Drums: Lee Gyumin / Bass: Cho Eunho Keyboard: Kim Seonggyeong / Guitar: Lee Uisoo) Now let's reveal Team B (Team B's first member Drums: Ok Seongmin) I have a feeling it's me (Team B's second member Bass: Ahn Sungjoo) Who could it be?

[00:09:57](Team B's third member Keyboard: Kim Eunchae) (Team B's last member Guitar: Bae Jaeyong) (Relieved) (FINAL MISSION B-TEAM) (Drums: Ok Seongmin / Bass: An Sungjoo Keyboard: Kim Eunchae / Guitar: Bae Jaeyong) (FINAL MISSION C-TEAM) (Drums: Lee Seojun / Bass: Jeon Seunghun Keyboard: Lee Hyeonseong / Guitar: Lee Junho) (Rearranging seats by team) I'd wanted to see you perform together "Wouldn't it be so fun if these people made music together?"

[00:10:24]"This seems like it'd be so much fun", thinking that, I really... - Yeah, that's how we set the teams - Thank you (Endless applause) Why is everyone clapping so much?

[00:10:35]- Do you always clap this much? - Yes I'm genuinely curious, you do?

[00:10:39]Oh, okay We love it - You love it? - We love it You don't even know what's happening, but you love it?

[00:10:45]That's a relief I hope you'll feel comfortable around me - Yes! - Got it Woaaah!!!

[00:10:52]These are the people who could become your bandmates I want to give you a little preview of the next mission's song (Top line: the main melody of a song) Don't worry too much about the top line I just want to mention that once more As you listen to the mission song, if any ideas come to mind, share them with your teammates and just take it all in Shall we give it a listen?

[00:11:19]Ready?

[00:11:22](Final mission song (guide ver.))

[00:12:54]So yeah, something like that Wow, I love it It's totally my style Yeah? Is it your style, Seongmin?

[00:13:02](Eyes lighting up) I love it In between, as you arrange the song and work on it, I'll also be working with you and try reworking the melody So let's make the rehearsal process fun too Now we need to pick a leader for each team So discuss among yourselves and decide And it feels a bit anticlimactic to just end here So I'd love to treat you all to a meal I've already booked a restaurant Anyone who's free to come eat together Is everyone free?

[00:13:41]Yes, we're available I cleared my whole schedule!

[00:13:44]I'm not forcing you guys, right...?

[00:13:47]I'm free until dawn Let's get late-night food too!

[00:13:50]Late-night food, haha Alright, decide on a leader and let me know - Yes! - Yes I'll do it Okay (Leader decided in 1 second (?)) Sounds good (Nervous he might become the leader) I was worried you might pick me since I'm the oldest... (Team A) Let's now pick the leader!

[00:14:05](Age reveal time to pick a leader) First, we should share our ages... I was born in '93 Born in '90 Born in '95 Born in '03 How about we discuss and pick someone who we'd think would make a good leader?

[00:14:18]I think it'd be great if the eldest took it You need experience, and you need to listen to everyone And since we're all younger, you wouldn't feel bad ordering us Plus, you have a lot of experience Are you two okay with that?

[00:14:33]Yes, I think so too You were the first one here during the waiting period You arrived the earliest - That settles it, it's him - Yeah, and also, you were the first to greet everyone warmly - That left such a strong impression on me - Thank you, thank you (Guitar Lee Uisoo / Team A leader selected) I'll do my absolute best... - Please take care of us - Thank you so much Thank you, thank you Bandmaster!

[00:14:55](Somehow embarrassing) He's our bandmaster, everyone (Team B) I'm Bae Jaeyong, I play guitar, and I'm 25 A World Cup baby!

[00:15:04]Born in 2002 I'm Ahn Sungjoo, I play bass, and born in 2005, I'm 22 I'm Ok Seongmin, I play drums I was also born in 2002!

[00:15:13]2002? We're the same age!

[00:15:15]ma!

[00:15:18]I play keyboards, and I'm also born in 2002!

[00:15:21]Friends!

[00:15:22](We're besties) Nice to meet you That could actually be an advantage This is gonna be fun Should we talk about MBTI?

[00:15:35]Eunchae, you go first I'm guessing E ENF...?

[00:15:39]Oh wait, maybe not?

[00:15:40]- You've got a bit of a T vibe - T!

[00:15:43]ENTJ!

[00:15:44]- ENTJ, that's correct - You got it Try guessing mine I have two, by the way - IN... - I have both I and E INFP?

[00:15:55]INFP is one of them EN...?

[00:15:58]- The other one is ENTP - ENTP, ahh I actually have three MBTIs - One I side and one E side? - Exactly - What's the third one? - Yeah, what's the other one?

[00:16:06]I think I go back and forth between F and T So INFP, INTP and either ENTP or ENFP one of those two So your I side is a bit stronger Yeah, I think I lean more I I'm INFP too INFP We need to pick the team leader, and you said you're an E You seem to have a certain charisma, an aura Really?

[00:16:29]I do want to be leader, but... Done!

[00:16:33]- Done - Done (Keyboard Kim Eunchae Team B leader selected (?)) Please go easy on us Then I'll be the vice leader - Sounds good, sounds good - Perfect We'll be the commoners Commoners (Not playing Among Us) Upstanding citizens!

[00:16:47](Team C) Should we go ahead and pick the leader?

[00:16:50](No idea how badly he wants it) I'd like to do it Sounds good - Is everyone okay with that? - Absolutely (Guitar Lee Junho / Team C leader selected) Really? I'll give it my all We'll follow your lead You mentioned you love rock, and the mission song is full-on rock The moment I heard it "This song is mine" (Keep it down) Keep your voice down... Ah right, the other teams might hear... It seems like they want something really intense from the start Even at the in-person audition, they asked if we could go hard So I went all out Same, same - I was playing really hard, too - Right Just went for it, so I think they have a pretty clear direction in mind so we just need to match that (Mnet [STEAL HEART CLUB]) I've done a band survival show before and what I learned was, the music definitely matters, but the performance is incredibly important And for a song like this, being in sync as one is what gets you a good score So even if it feels embarrassing, we should all work on our stage presence together in the rehearsal room, really commit to it like we're acting For the arrangement, starting with the intro, in the intro... The guitar comes in heavy (FX: Sound effects added to instruments) with all the FX and everything (MTR: Multitrack Recording) if we can lay down an MTR track, (Plays multiple audios on separate tracks) we should There are parts where it opens up I think it'd be great if the keys do a lot there As much as possible And for the bass, you mentioned you like slap bass Yeah, but you know, if pick bass fits better, I'll practice that When it comes to playing, I don't know bass that well So just do your best... Sure, sure (Full trust) I'm sure you'll do great... You're the senior here I'll think it over The drums are going to be pretty key Do you have a China cymbal?

[00:18:32]I'll buy one Oh, you'll buy one?

[00:18:35]I think it'd be great if the drums go really hard And at the end, strike an ending pose (Can you?) You can do that, right?

[00:18:42](Noted) Of course, of course As long as we nail the arrangement We've got this in the bag (Team C meeting ends, fully fired up) I've got such a good feeling about this (Team A) I want to show two or three different rhythms That's what I was thinking For the first verse, for example, the drums go into 16th notes really tight and subdivided And the bass and drums kind of pop together Then coming into the second verse, the guitar blasts in like the original When I go more rock on my instrument, I can use a double bass pedal Oh nice!

[00:19:14]So I think we can bring in a bit of a metal flavor in the later sections Love it The moment I heard it, it just hits hard right from the start So I was thinking, strip out that opening intro and build a completely different intro before it Create a whole new intro before the song starts?

[00:19:35]Oh, I like that (One) So for now... (Two) First that (Three) So first, I'll start with working out the guitar riff I'll get that part done First that... - One - Two (Team A wraps up in good spirits) Ailee Team A, let's go! One, two, three - Let's go! - Let's go!

[00:19:53](Team B) The first thing that came to mind was in the verse or pre-chorus of both the first and second parts, it'd be cool if the keys did something impressive I think keeping the intro really calm could work well, too And we could add more breaks Layering in instruments gradually could also be nice Drums coming in, then bass I even thought that for guitar solo and lead parts, I heard you also play keytar... I'd really love to see the keytar I'm just curious We should either break away from the original or to keep the feel of the song (Re-section: restructuring the song) (Unison: multiple instruments playing the same melody) and do a detailed re-section (Re-section: restructuring the song) (Unison: multiple instruments playing the same melody) and unison and stuff like that would be nice Considering that, I think all four of us can handle that kind of arrangement So I think packing in a lot would be great Adding a lot of variation would be really good Should we do a chant?

[00:20:52]- Let's go! - A chant?

[00:20:53]Just so you know, I never do a small chant (A chant like no other) LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!

[00:20:59]- Oh, is that so? - I need to cover my ears (Introverts trembling in fear) I'm not really one to go loud (Gathering energy) I'm pulling it up from the core One, two, three LET'S GOOOOO!@!!

[00:21:09]LET'S GOOOOO!@!!

[00:21:10](Startled) That scared me We were definitely the quietest ones We let our instruments do the talking - Ugh, we lost, lost on volume - Should've gone after them Should've gone like BWAAAH (?)

[00:21:25](COOL) Just give it your all Just give it your all They're giving us a thumbs up Right (Team C, let's go!) Good sign I'm hungry [Ailee Band] Hello (Team meetings done! Heading out for dinner!)

[00:21:42]Why do I feel like the office manager at a work dinner?

[00:21:46]It still feels awkward... It's awkward, right? Pretty awkward?

[00:21:50]What was your first impression of us?

[00:21:53]I had so much fun with the auditions The whole thing was just so fun And honestly, the reason I started this is that there are so many people making music, but there aren't many stages to perform on I wanted to make music together, enjoy it myself, and create a stepping stone that gives people opportunities I want us to keep performing together going forward, too Love it!

[00:22:25]The vision behind it is so great The timing was perfect... I got fired - You got fired? - From my part-time job... Really?

[00:22:34]Oh no - You didn't quit? - No Why did you get fired?

[00:22:39]They said doing music and the job at the same time made me seem less focused Oh no, I hope things work out for you The pressure is on (Pressure) (Food arrives) It's here - Thank you - Has everyone eaten?

[00:22:55]Did you pick a leader?

[00:22:56]Yes, we did (Team A leader) - Of course the guitarist is the leader - Team A leader - Team C leader - Team C leader Who's Team B's leader?

[00:23:04](Team B leader) Just gives off that reliable energy (Leaders introduced! Time to eat) Eat up, just relax and eat - Thank you for the food - Thank you When else would we get to have a meal with Ailee?

[00:23:16]Right I really wanted to treat everyone, I'm just so grateful (Touched) We're the ones who are grateful Mmm!

[00:23:26]This place is good I even thought, "What if nobody applies?"

[00:23:31]It was huge among students - Oh really? - It was huge Our professor shared it with us Even professors applied (Delicious / Surprised / Surprised / Surprised) Really?

[00:23:42]Isn't that cheating?

[00:23:43]There were even people more senior than me who applied That was really impressive The skill gap must've been pretty wide Yeah, I thought about that a bit, too I really wanted to give opportunities to people who hadn't had many chances or experiences The vision behind it was really great I'd been wanting to jam and get on stage so badly Exactly (Finished session work with FT ISLAND) I'd been taking a break since last year And I was starting to wonder, "Will another chance ever come?"

[00:24:18]Then I randomly came across it on Instagram Nobody even told me about it, I just saw it and it was the very first thing that popped up "I have to do this, no question" Does everyone still not know each other's playing styles?

[00:24:30]We haven't seen each other play I remember everyone, the way you all played (To Sungjoo) You came across really well on camera Oh, thank you (Flustered) Going "No, no" but... (Shy, but still soaking up the compliment) You've got confidence Despite what you say, your actions are so shy and bashful But you speak as if you are the most confident person in the world That contrast is such a charming quality Oh right I heard some of you already know each other (Cho Eunho & Lee Junho & Ok Seongmin) We're classmates (All from Seokyeong Uni, Applied Music) Oh, all three of you?

[00:25:05]Classmates (Junho & Seojun are high school classmates from Hanlim Arts High School) And the two of us went to the same high school We went to Hanlim Arts High School Hanlim Arts High School I thought you said Harlem - No, no - Oh, Hanlim Arts High School "Hanlim" Arts High School (Uisoo & Jaeyong, connected from the past) Jaeyong and I have a history - Through FT ISLAND... - Oh really?

[00:25:27]Now that you're all here, how does everyone feel?

[00:25:30]Great!

[00:25:30]Happy It's surreal Since this is my first time being on a survival show, meeting everyone like this feels so surreal And everything feels new, honestly What were your criteria for selecting the finalists?

[00:25:43]Everyone had such a great vibe And I felt like a lot of them would click well with me Since I'm the main vocalist, I was looking at who could make as wide a range of music styles with me as possible Bandmaster Hyoungju kept asking you things, right?

[00:26:03]"Can you try playing it this way?"

[00:26:05]"Can you try it that way?"

[00:26:06]That's what I do to "How about switching this part up a bit?"

[00:26:11]I make a lot of requests And I think I gravitated toward the contestants who could adapt to that flexibly What do you think the Ailee Band sound will be like?

[00:26:25]I didn't think it was right to lock in a genre first and then go looking for members to fit it So after the final members are all confirmed, I want to see what colors we can all bring out together and then decide on the direction What do you think? Any guesses?

[00:26:44]What style do you think everyone will play?

[00:26:48]Well, for now, I'm really curious to see what you'll do Just based on what you said earlier, it seems like totally... you already decided on what to do I don't know...!

[00:27:01]Don't focus on me Everyone, stop focusing on me!

[00:27:05]You're quite secretive... Are you keeping your guard up?

[00:27:10](Nope) (Wants to be kept in check) It's an honor for me No, no Oh wait, two guitar leaders?

[00:27:17]Yeah, two guitar leaders Keytar leader... (And now a keytar leader enters the guitar leader rivalry...) Keytar, keytar Keytar, keyboard-guitar leader I'm so excited to see what comes out of this I'm going to go all out I'll give it everything I've got... I had no idea there were this many talented musicians in Korea Thank you I'm flattered Should we get down to practicing today?

[00:27:44]I'm seriously ready I really am ready I'm over here drinking right now I'm the only one drinking, They're going, "Should we get down?"

[00:27:55]And I'm drinking... You are downing drinks... I'll be getting down this way (Team dinner wraps up amid warmth and friendly rivalry) I'll get down to practicing tomorrow This is so funny (Final Mission) (D-14) (First team arrangement meeting) (Hyeonseong - absent due to personal reasons) Is Seojun coming?

[00:28:16](Team C's first arrangement meeting) He's not showing up (Setting up Seojun's dedicated camera angle) I'll film you from below Okay, not bad It kind of feels like [HIPHOPPLAYA] (Seonghun the Puncher / Seojun the Full Junho the Passionate Leader) I did write down stuff, kind of the vibe Let's get it on screen Is it showing?

[00:28:38](Arrangement ideas he thought through in advance) I wrote out each part like this Very diligent So I've got it all the way to the end here Okay, let me read it out. Intro!

[00:28:59]Full metal feel And whether to extend the length or not That was something I was debating too The number of bars in the intro (Progressive: Experimental music style with a sense of development) And then making it more progressive Change the drum kick pattern from the original mission track And the outro feels a bit unresolved, at least to me (Riff: Repeated pattern that defines the song) It ends without a riff If you think about following the style of classic rock songs, I think it'd be great if the main intro riff came back in the outro That could be added later Or since we're performing this live, what if we do a pre-intro right before the main intro, and then hit the main intro?

[00:29:55](Same idea as Team A's earlier suggestion) and build a completely different intro before it Create a whole new intro before the song starts?

[00:30:01]Oh, that works too Does a solo need to be in there?

[00:30:05]I was thinking of adding one, probably in the last chorus either as an improvised guitar solo or building out a dedicated section for it What do you think?

[00:30:16]Yeah, sounds good - Is changing the riff okay with you? - Yeah (Ooh) (Guitar appears) Like this kind of feeling - You could throw something like this in - Oh, that's nice Yeah!

[00:30:38]I'm not sure if we should add this Or put that kind of element in the pre-intro and then play the main intro... So the pre-intro would just have the guitar riff first Something like that We're creating the opening intro for this performance!

[00:30:53]Exactly (Highlight of team C's arrangement) Creating an opening intro Have you heard the drum part Seojun recorded?

[00:31:01]Who's Seojun?

[00:31:03]Who's Seojun?

[00:31:04]Seojun... (Team nearly falls apart right after forming) (Watching from the sidelines) Ohhh (Hurt) - Ohhh - I just haven't memorized everyone's names yet (Fair enough!) Okay, okay I did record something yesterday (Seojun - Rough draft footage) What you did earlier would work great for the empty melody parts Oh, like the "dun-da-dun-da-da-da" thing?

[00:31:48]Yeah, throwing in stuff like "da-ga-da-dan" that'd be great!

[00:31:53](Thinking) I'd love to use that a lot in the drums A lot? Not a lot what would you call it, a sextuplet?

[00:32:03]Dun-du-du-du-du-dun!

[00:32:08]You know what I mean, right?

[00:32:10]When you want to give it that cinematic feel After the bridge, it all locks in together, and the guitar picks it up and goes into a solo Release the half-time right there and just hit it, and that'd be great Love it Bang! Like that?

[00:32:28]Then maybe... Then just... Like go, thud, thud, with the rhythm Bang dung-ku tang-ku bang tang-gu-dung (Sorry, keyboard) Sorry That sounds fun That kind of feel Now back to the original rhythm here!

[00:33:06]After the drum sextuplet, the outro goes something like this (Satisfied) That sounds fun Something like that (Team C's first arrangement meeting is over) Good Alright, I'll turn this off Sounds good Hello I'm the leader of Team B for the Ailee Band final mission, (Host Leader Kim Eunchae) keyboard player Kim Eunchae Before our first jam session, we're having a quick arrangement meeting and also getting to know each other better today So we're meeting up at Seoul Station (Youngest member Ahn Sungjoo) There's our youngest member Hello, everyone Say a quick hello A hello for the time being?

[00:33:54]I've been doing really well, and I'm so excited for today (Citizen Bae Jaeyong) Go ahead and introduce yourself (One sentence) Nice to meet you (Rushing in, Ok Seongmin) Our drummer has arrived - So our team's drummer is... - I'm so sorry I'm so sorry [Ailee Band] Let's eat (Food first, arrangement meeting later) Enjoy your meal (Nom nom) (Chomp) (Who's eating the most?)

[00:34:28]I almost memorized the mission song I've had it on repeat I listened to it while sleeping and woke up to it as my alarm too Doesn't using it as an alarm make you hate it...?

[00:34:43]Then I'll just arrange it to be even better That's actually a great idea I'll pass it to the prettiest person here I knew it was coming to me (Moved to a new spot, the arrangement meeting begins in earnest) Nice to meet you If the arrangement turns out great, it could end up on the release, which would be amazing But ultimately, we need to impress them and get picked for the band So without straying too far from the original, we should think about the performance side and arrange it with that in mind Either way, we can't stray from the rock genre The rhythm right now is like this And I think we could change up the basic rhythm from there And for the chords, the verse chords are originally like... (Focused) (Original chord progression) B♭M7 → Dm7 → C → G Instead of that, going "Dm → C → Bm → C/B♭" could flow naturally with the melody - For the verse? - Just the verse I've been going back and forth on the pre-chorus The whole song is intense throughout, and the pre-chorus is the only soft part Should we really strip it down like the mission song?

[00:36:37]Or should we try a completely different approach?

[00:36:42]Personally, I think the intro is the most important part Because the intro must grab your attention and hooks your ears right away to make you lean in and listen (Tapping: Tapping the strings on the fretboard) So I was thinking, maybe start the intro with guitar tapping?

[00:36:59]Like, if we open with that... I have an idea Guitar tapping is great, but there's also that keyboard sound, like an electric piano With that kind of vintage tone Jjang jjang jjang Wuoaaang Then the drums go du-du-du-dung!

[00:37:20]And kick in, that could work too And for the bass, lay down the vibe with something like a bass chord solo and then come in after that So for the intro, (Team B's arrangement focus) what if everyone comes up with their own intro on their instrument?

[00:37:36]I like it - And then, we could pick the best one - Yes, yes That way, we'll have a lot more options to work with Try yours, try mine, and see what works (Everyone brainstorms their own ideas, prepare multiple arrangements) So we won't be stuck wondering what to do How are you feeling?

[00:37:56]Right now?

[00:37:57]I feel like I really lucked out with this team, so I'm really happy And I'm so excited for what's ahead How are you feeling?

[00:38:05](Pure) (Team B's first arrangement meeting is over) That's a wrap on our first meeting today One, two, three - Let's go! - Let's go!

[00:38:20](Captain Leader Lee Uisoo) Hello Today, my teammates are coming over to my studio for the first time (Respectful Cho Eunho) And the first to arrive is Eunho What?

[00:38:36](Shy around the camera) I didn't know you'd bring a camera out - Come on, we have to film - Right Hello Is Minnie here?

[00:38:42]Minnie's here Say hi, say hi (Minnie Lee Gyumin) Hello, I've arrived (Team A's KakaoTalk chat) (Should we all meet up tomorrow??)

[00:38:50](Team A decides to meet up for an arrangement meeting) (How about having a meeting with lunch?)

[00:38:53](I'd love to come, but I have a lesson to teach...!)

[00:38:54](Seonggyeong - Out due to personal schedule) (I'll practice hard in the meantime) Since the three of us are all here, we'll grab a coffee and get to work (Moving to Uisoo's studio to start the arrangement meeting) [Ailee Band] What do you think of the mission song?

[00:39:10]I'm on drums, so... The original drum part is already so good, so just laying it as-is... What about Eunho?

[00:39:16]I get a warrior woman vibe It has that warrior woman feel, but listening to the melody, I feel like each section should have some breathing room in certain spots and then really explode in others That's kind of taking shape in my head Just that much?

[00:39:35]I was like, "Why did they send us the original track file?" as I listened to it For the verse, it definitely feels like, "show us something cool with the riff" That's the vibe I got And for the B section (bridge)... Bring your own ideas, something unique, whatever works, and put together something cool within that, that's the feel The B section is pretty sparse There are parts where the same melody just repeats But ultimately, the final call is yours to make (Flustered) No... we decide together (Basically Uisoo's fan club) He's the leader, after all So today's main event is you - Too many cooks... - Right, right - Having too many cooks really is the worst - Exactly So what do you want done with the intro?

[00:40:41]The intro should stay the same And then when we get to the Dm, E♭m repeats, I want you to perform on stage like you're the one in the spotlight Like a solo?

[00:40:54]EeeeEEEeeng!!

[00:40:55]- Just do something like that - Okay, okay Something cool how should we fit it in?

[00:41:07](You're so cool, leader) Do you actually think it's good?

[00:41:21]We're done You can stop now Is it okay if we do that? Like the seagull thing?

[00:41:28]Seagull?

[00:41:29]When it goes dun dun, like weeeooo weeeooo... Seagull?

[00:41:35]The guitar is right here (Request received) (Seagull effect) To me, it sounds like it's enough just to get a feel for it This is wild - Why? - Right here on the spot Something about everyone huddled together like this feels like we're doing actual band work I'll compile what we did today and send it to you Thank you (Team A's first arrangement meeting is over) And Seonggyeong can check it, too Should we decide now, or should we just try everything out on jam day?

[00:42:19]- Let's decide! - Should we decide?

[00:42:21]I vote for deciding... Let's decide, have Seonggyeong listen, gather everyone's opinion, (Under leader Uisoo's direction) and have you make the call (Decided to set the arrangement direction) I think that's better (I'll come 200% prepared with whatever direction you decide on) (Final Mission) (D-14) (Final Mission) (D-13) (The first arrangement meetings of every team are over) [Ailee Band]
