Cho Yong-pil held a showcase for his 20th full-length album '20' at Bluesqué in Hannam-dong, Yongsan, Seoul on the 22nd and reflected on his music life by announcing his first new album in 11 years.
'I hope it's like that now, 'Dream', 'Song of the Wind', 'Bounce', 'Let's go on a trip to that winter's tea house','Let's go on a trip','Short Hair', 'Mona Lisa', 'Waiting Summer', 'Hello', 'Friendly', 'Hair', 'Leopard of Kilimanjaro', 'Women Out of the Window' Cho Yong-pil, who has been in the 'King of Singer' from the 70s to.
Cho Yong-pil has released a full-length album in about 11 years since his 19th full-length album 'Hello' in 2013. In October 2022 and April last year, they released the lead single 'Road to Twenty - Prelude 1, 2' which marks their 20th full-length album, respectively, and have been preheated.
Cho Yong-pil, who has only recently released a single, is releasing an album in the form of an album for the first time in 11 years. Cho Yong-pil said, `It was difficult to release a new song over 70 years old, but I tried hard.' Regarding the album-type album, he said, "'I've done it up to my 20th album, but this could be the last album to do it.'"

'20' is an album that will be an important milestone in Cho Yong-pil's music world, and contains a total of seven songs, including the title song 'It's okay', 'Chalna', 'Timing', 'Like Serengeti', 'Why', 'Filling of You', and 'La'. Cho Yong-pil, who worked on this new report until the end, said, `I want a grand orchestra to go in. As I did it, I got greedy. It was like that even though the recording of the song was done. It's a bummer", he confessed.
The title song 'It's okay' is a touching cheering song for everyone in this era, and the lyrics are impressive, patting on to believe in yourself and saying that it's a little late. Cho Yong-pil's own modern rock was completed by combining cheerful electric guitar, refreshing jeolchang, and high-resolution sound.
In the lyrics, it melted the heart of the loser, not the victory in the sports game. Cho Yong-pil said, `I was watching a sports game, and one loser who shared the first and second places he fought with was upset as soon as it was over. Of course, he would have adapted, but if he were me at the time, he would have felt 'I'll have strength, one more time'"I met with the writer and told him this story. He said he needed straight-talking lyrics. Not everyone can succeed, but I think many of them have the same mind. "
Considering Cho Yong-pil's achievements in the music industry, there is also an opinion that Cho Yong-pil cannot enter the feelings of the loser. But Cho Yong-pil has never been satisfied. Even now, I think it's pathetic. I always think like that." He said he lost his fight, showing his humility.
At the same time, he looked back on the moment when he felt he was a loser. "When we had a press conference in 1992, it was when the 'dream' came out. I had a press conference after the song. From the '80s until the '92 press conference, there were too many broadcasts. Few people would have been on TV as much as I wasCho Yong-pil, who said ", wondered what would happen later if he kept doing this, wouldn't he be left as a broadcaster?" I'm a singer, and I was out on a game program."
It was also very difficult to refuse such a thing. I've declared I won't be on TV, and that's the problem. I said I would only do concerts, but at first, the audience was full. Over the course of two or three years, it has been decreasing. There are so many hit songs, but you can't come like this. I was disappointed about myself at that time."

This new report also seems to have many songs that seem to be cheering songs. Cho Yong-pil said "If you listen to old songs, don't you think there are such songs?" There are some music that cheer us up and give us hope. It seems to be an extension of that. Since I received such comfort, I think I should do it, too."
In the meantime, for young people who are struggling, "Anything needs to have a difficult process to complete one thing. If you keep struggling, you can't do it in the end. Even if it's hard, you have to finish it. Maybe even a small thing will develop further in the future," he said.

There is an opinion that Cho Yong-pil is still trendy about working with hot characters. These opinions were left to "In fact, "You can do it". I don't think it's my thing to meddle in. They're famous. Previously, I liked the animation music video of Feeling of You. Let's try it, I did it because I thought it was interesting."
In addition, on November 23rd and 24th, November 30th and December 1st (for a total of four days), the KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul will hold the "20th album release commemorative Cho Yong-pil & Great Birth Concert - Seoul" and meet music fans. Starting with Seoul, we plan to add a host city, and the detailed schedule will be released later.
He also gave out spoilers for the concert. First, the performance of the new song 'La' was tipped off. Cho Yong-pil says "The sound keeps making me think about my age. But wouldn't you have done it because you wanted to do it. I think it's a song that fits well with the concert. as the 'Lalalalalalalalalan' is repeated over and over again. I think I'll do it half the way I do it. 'What should I do? Isn't that a bit too much?He said, 'I did, but I ended up doing it.'"
It's already been 56 years since our debut. As it has been an unpredictable long time, he also pointed out the driving force behind the long period of music. Cho Yong-pil thinks that you should like singing as a singer, that the music should be good, that you should listen to various genres, and that you should keep learning. Even now, I'm still working on singing and practicing on pitch. 'That singer did that, will I be able to do it?' And he immediately experimented with it again. That's actually fun. So I think that's why I've been doing music so far."
Then "Music is an expression of a person's mind, and I see it as an expression of the public. Likewise, the lyrics and songs eventually belong to the public. That's why I tend to pay a lot of attention. I used to do it without knowing. I did it because I liked music, but I tend to study it in detail as I get older."
Cho Yong-pil laughed, saying, "'These days, from the latest songs to the 1950s, I listen to changes in flow, genre, and music while listening to music that comes out over time.'"If I give a concert to junior singers, I send them flowers because I think they will work harder and will be courageous."
In the meantime, "I said I was constantly working on it, but there are many songs I want to imitate any song. I can't sing like that. That's why I can't get out of the small frame. Still, I want to imitate it, so I listen to the song and practice a lot. Even if it is not well known, there are many good singers on YouTube. Westerners and Easterners are different again. Perhaps because of its large neck, there are many different aspects in the echo and recording parts. You have to learn what you have to learn"He said that he is still trying to work on music.
As for the practice process, when you practice the song, most of them 'It suits you or doesn't suit you' is determined. Record it with a smartphone, listen to it with a small speaker, and listen to it with a large speaker. There were many lyrics as well. I've tried this and that lyrics. After the decision is made, you will practice singing or tone."
When working on music, he told me what he cares about the most. Cho Yong-pil "He pays a lot of attention to the sound. If you like it, you start working on it. 'Short hair', 'Woman Out of the Window' came out in the 1980s, and the sound was directly hit by the machine I bought at the electronic store. He said, "My greed for sound has been different since I was young."
As for the work process "Mixing work is done in the same way as in the United States. It goes back and forth about 16 to 7 times. I'm actually tired of it there. Wouldn't he have other things to do for a month and a half and two and a half months. He eventually came all the way to Korea. The sound is not the old Cho Yong-pil. There is a need to understand my condition in its own way. I think you need to make sure you don't overdo it"I helped.

Cho Yong-pil, who is already 74 years old, is now 100 years old. There were also questions about future plans. However, Cho Yong-pil flatly says "There is no plan" and wishes his voice could sing a little more. I hope to have a stronger voice through practice"I hoped.
Finally, it is a challenge to music. I think I had a lot of desire to try. I think it will not be achieved and it will be over." And then "But I still want to continue. If you think it's not right, I'll quit then. I look forward to your kind cooperation. Thank you", he said, receiving a big round of applause from the reporters on the day.
Cho Yong-pil's 20th full-length album '20' will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 22nd, and the CD will be released on November 1.
