Goo Hye Sun played the guitar and sang her new movie song.. ^_^



Goo Hye Sun sang this song in a coffee house where she used this idea to release her new movie ‘Yosul’. In Goo Hye Sun’s homepage, she mentioned that she wrote this song based on the feeling of spring as spring has come.

In the music video, Goo Hye Sun was actually playing the guitar and singing the song together with the music director, Choi In Young . The music director left a comment: Goo Hye Sun just wrote this song out of feeling, hopefully the record company will record in albums for sale.

Goo Hye Sun said it seems very difficult, after all, this song was just written out of the blue, she’s happy that everyone likes it.

Articles on Goo Hye Sun & Pianist Isao Sasaki


피아니스트 이사오 사사키(오른쪽)는 "아버지와 딸 같은 나이 차이지만 잘 통하는 음악 친구"라며 탤런트 구혜선 씨와 함께 웃었다. <김재훈 기자>
"Pianist Isao Sasaki (right) and I may have the age difference of a father and a daughter, but we are really musical buddies who understand each other really well", says GHS smiling.

가 을을 시기하는 폭염이 심술을 부리던 날이었다. 소설과 그림 전시회, 단편영화 감독에 작곡 음반까지 발표해 부러움과 질투를 동시에 받고 있는 '멀티 엔터테이너' 구혜선 씨(25)와 한국인 감성을 사로잡은 일본 뉴에이지 피아니스트 이사오 사사키(56)가 만났다.
It was day of summer's scorching heat that envies the autumn. Novelist, artist, short film director, and now a musician with her own CD! She (25 in Korea and 24 in USA) is a "multi-entertainer" who gets bombarded with both envy and admiration at the same time. Isao Sasaki is a Japanese, New Age pianist master who totally captured and aroused the Korean listening hearts. I met with both of them.

31 세 나이 차이에 말도 안 통하는 두 사람이 만난 이유는 순전히 음악 때문. 사사키가 구씨 작품 '별별이별'과 '골목을 돌면'을 연주했다. 이 선율은 구씨 작곡 소품집 '숨'(YG엔터테인먼트)에 수록됐다. '별별이별'은 사사키의 한국 동요 앨범 '더 웨이 위 워'(스톰프뮤직)에도 담겼다.
There is an age difference of 31 years between them and they don't even speak the same language. Yet they met purely because of music. Sasaki performs his arrangement of Koo's compositions, '별별이별'과 '골목을 돌면' (Different Good-bye and Turing the Alley). These melodies are collected in Goo's new music album, (by YG Entertainment). "Different Good-bye" is also enclosed in Isao Sasaki's NEW Korean childhood-theme Music Album, (by Stomp Music).

지 난 8일 흰색 옷을 맞춰 입고 서울 충무로 매일경제신문사에 들어온 두 사람 눈빛은 맑았다. 하이힐 탓인지 TV에서 본 것보다 키(163㎝)가 더 크게 느껴지는 구씨는 겸손한 미소를 띠었다. 사사키 씨는 탁자에 이마가 닳을 정도로 90도로 인사했다.
This past September 8th, dressed in white, GHS and Isao Sasaki came to Seoul ChoongMooRoh Daily Economy News Office. Both of their eyes were clear and bright. Maybe it was her high hills, but GHS (163cm) appeared taller than on TV. She smiled politely. Sasaki-ssi humbly bowed to greet at nearly 90 degrees to the point of touching the table top. (Both are definitely polite, well-mannered and humble even with their amazing backgrounds!)

자리에 앉자마자 두 사람 인연이 어떻게 시작됐을까 그 답부터 찾았다. 혈액형 A형이라는 것 외에 공통점을 찾기 힘든 이들은 두 달 전 처음 만났다. 구씨가 감독한 단편영화 '유쾌한 도우미' 배경음악으로 사사키의 '스카이 워커'를 넣고 싶어 먼저 연락했다. 선뜻 승낙하는 그에게 용기를 얻어 구씨는 자신이 습작한 작품들을 보냈다
As soon as they sat down, I wanted to know how they came to connect with each other. It was hard to believe that they would share anything in common besides the fact that they are of same blood-type A. They met face to face for the first time two months ago. However, Goo initially contacted Sasaki to get his permission to use his music, "SKY WALKER" for her short film, . Goo felt encouraged by Sasaki's quick permission that she also sent him her own musical compostions for his review.

일본에서 이 곡들을 받은 사사키는 "아마추어치고는 훌륭했고 악상도 독특했다"며 "구씨를 만나 이야기를 나누면서 그의 음악세계와 볼펜으로 그린 몽환적인 꽃 일러스트들이 이해가 갔다"고 말했다.
When he first received Goo's demo tapes, Sasaki thought: "for an amateur, her music is remarkable and the melodies are unique." "After I met with Goo and we talked together, I began to understand her world of music and her ball-pen drawn illustration such as the dream-like flower". (GHS' favorite of all her illustrations as it symbolizes blooming of dreams, as she stated in one of her vid. clips with 2NE1 during her art exhibition days.)

지난 4일과 8일 그와 나란히 피아노에 앉아 연탄곡을 친 구씨는 "내 건반 터치가 미흡해도 잘 맞춰주셨다"며 "서로를 너무 배려해 지금까지 한 번도 부딪힌 적 없었다. 선생님 음악은 희망차서 좋다"고 설명했다.
Both on September 4th and 8th, Goo and Sasaki played duet on the piano. Goo:"He overlooks and rather enhances my inadquate piano keyboard skill." "We are deeply considerate of each other that we have not had any conflicts at all. I have always loved his hope-filled music." (here, Goo addresses Sasaki as her teacher/mentor=선생님.)
(Finally, we now only find out that there was a free MASTER MUSIC Class and mini-concert by Sasaki and Goo on the 8th of September---funny, there was no news report in the net.)

첫인상은 어땠을가? 구씨는 "사사키 선생님은 교수님 이미지"라며 "한국 사람처럼 편하게 느껴졌다"고 기억했다.
Goo's first impression of Sasaki? "Mentor Sasaki initially gave me an impression of looking like a professor, and I felt as comfortable with him as if he is a Korean person."

내년에 한국 활동 10주년을 맞는 사사키는 "비행기에 타면 스튜어디스가 한국어로 말을 건다"며 "한국인 같다는 말을 많이 듣는다"고 웃었다.
Next year, Sasaki celebrates his 10 years of activity in Korea. He laughs and comments that "flight attendants often mistake me as a Korean and even address me in Korean. I often hear that I very much look like a Korean."

두 사람 음악 우정은 당분간 계속될 예정이다. 구씨는 다음달 사사키 전국투어 '위드 유'(10월 11일 서울 예술의전당~18일 부산문화회관)에 동행해 피아노 연탄곡 등 2~3곡을 직접 연주할 계획. 사사키는 음반 수록곡인 한국 동요 '반달' '오빠생각' '과수원길' 등을 들려준다.
These two people's musical friendship will continue for now. Next month, Goo will accompany Sasaki in his national tour of Korea, titled, . (October 11th at Seoul Art Palace to October 18th BUsan Cultural Center). She plans to personally perform 2~3 songs. Sasaki will perform from his new music CD, his arrangement of Korean childhood musical melodies such as '반달' '오빠생각' '과수원길' ="Half Moon, Thinking of My Brother, Fruit Garden Path".

서 정적인 치유 음악으로 유명한 사사키 연주는 1998년 한국 어느 카페에서 처음 흘러나왔다. 연인과 그 음악을 즐겨 듣던 사람이 이 곡 연주자를 찾아 헤맨 끝에 사사키라는 존재를 발견했고 정식 음반이 판매됐다. 카페 주인은 제목도 모른 채 그의 음악을 틀었다고 한다.
Sasaki's music, known for its emotionally healing qualities, was first heard in 1998 at a cafe in Korea. A woman who remembers enjoying listening to Sasaki's music with her lover desperately searched all radio stations in Korean for the musician's identity. When Sasaki's identity was revealed, official sale of his music CD's started. Cafe owner did not even know Sasaki's name while listening to his music.

사사키는 "한국에서 받은 사랑을 동요로 되돌려주고 싶다. 한국 동요 감성이 일본과 비슷하다"며 "1998년 불황으로 음악을 그만두려 할 때 한국 음반사에서 활동 제의가 와서 다시 피아노 앞에 앉게 됐다"고 회상했다.
Sasaki: "I want to return the love that Koreans have shown me with the childhood music melodies. Korean childhood music is very similar to Japanese. Sasaki recollects: "In 1998, I almost gave up my music due to poor economy. then, a Korean music production company called and made a proposal that kept me playing my piano."[/color[color="#FF0000"]](WOW. a great example of distress that turned into a blessing!) (Also,Goo's chopstick fusion music must have been influenced by Sasaki's musical arrangement style of turning simple and familiar melodies into more unique and sophisticated new style of melody.)

한 국에 깊은 애정을 갖고 있는 그는 2001년 일본 취객을 구하다 사고를 당한 고 이수현 씨를 위한 추모곡 '아이즈 포 유'을 헌정하기도 했다. 사사키는 "음악을 통해 한ㆍ일 교류를 계속하고 싶다"며 "이번 음악회에서 한복이라도 입을까 생각 중"이라고 웃었다.
Because of his deep affection for Korea, Sasaki dedicated his "EYES FOR YOU" to Lee Soo Hyun who was met with a tragic accident in Japan while trying to save a drunken person in 2001. Sasaki wishes to continue the work of "musical exchange between Korea and Japan". He laughs and says that he is even "thinking about wearing Korean traditional costume for the next upcoming concert." (That sounds like a wonderful idea,especially if GHS also wears the traditional Japanese costume for the concert!!)

이번에 피아노 연주 실력까지 보여준 구씨에게도 또 한 번 놀랐다. 신은 너무 불공평한 것 아닌가. 그는 "그림과 음악, 소설 모두 영화 제작 과정"이라고 했다.
I am again surprised by Goo's yet another talent, this time in her musical ability. GOD really does not play fair. Goo says that her music and art and novel are all for one thing, to make a movie.

최근 첼리스트가 등장하는 미스터리 음악 영화 '구술'(가제) 제작을 추진하고 있다.
Recently, Goo is promoting for the production of her movie tentatively called , which is a mystery music movie.

구씨는 "원래 촬영한 다음에 음악을 정하는데 나는 다른 방향으로 풀고 싶었다"며 "대중과 먼저 친해진 음악을 담고 싶었다"고 설명했다.
Goo explains: "Usually OST music comes after the completion of a movie. But I wanted to go a different direction. I wanted to incorporate into my movie the music that the audience was already familar with."

그에게는 요즘 '구오나르도'라는 새로운 별명이 생겼다. 다재다능한 천재 예술가 레오나르도 다빈치를 빗댄 것. 구씨의 넘치는 재능을 약간 비꼬는 느낌도 있다.
These days, people are newly nicknaming Goo as "Goo-O-nardo", which is a twisted, combined names of Goo and the multi-talented genius master artist, Leonardo DaVinci. Unfortunately, the nickname also seems to slightly put down Goo's overflowing multi-talents.

" '얼짱'으로 연기를 시작할 때도 '낙하산 연기자'로 보더군요. 저를 부정적으로 생각한다면 열심히 노력해서 인정 받아야죠. 그래도 저를 보고 긍정적 자극을 받는 사람들도 있어 다행이에요. 피아노를 그만두려 했다가 제 연주를 듣고 다시 시작했다는 분도 있어요."
"When I started acting after being labeled 'ulzzang', people use to sarcastically comment that I was a 'parachute actress'. (i.e. she only got her opportunity to act due to the fame of being picked an ulzzang.) If people think less of me, of course, I will attempt to get recognition by making bigger effort. However, it is so fortunate that there are also people who become positively influenced by me. One person almost thought of quitting piano but changed his/her mind after listening to me perform."

노력으로 대중의 의심을 지우며 살아온 그는 열정이 들끓는 청춘이다. 자기 한계를 긋지 않고 끊임없이 도전하기 때문. 최근에는 기타와 바이올린을 배우고 있다.
Goo is a overflowingly passionate young woman who has been trying to live her life by her efforts in order to overcome and erase public's suspicion and doubts. She never draws any lines of limitation around her. If she wants it, she challenges herself to do it. Recently, she is learnig to play guitar and violin.

"그렇다고 절대 막무가내는 아니에요. 수없이 실패한 끝에 얻은 기회에요. 학생 때부터 직접 쓴 시나리오를 들고 영화사들을 찾아다녔지만 매번 거절당했어요. 시행착오를 겪으면서 '왜 나는 안될까' 고민하면서 정답을 찾았어요."
"However, I am not recklessly stubborn. That is not it. This is an opportunity earned after so many failures. I took my scripts to many production companies and was rejected countless times. Having had so many trials and errors, I used to say to myself, "how come good fortune does not happen for me!". But I found my answers in midst of distress."
(I just love how she says it. she basically never gives up on what she loves no matter what!)

슬픈 일이 있으면 그림을 그리거나 글을 쓰고 작곡을 하면서 위로를 받는다는 구씨. 사람 마음을 끌어당기는 힘을 갖고 있었다. 상처를 달래주는 사사키 음악도 마찬가지였다.
Goo would draw, write, or compose when she felt sad and gave to herself comfort and encouragement that she needed to move forward. She really has the power to draw people's heart towards her. Sasaki's healing music also does the same.

========


이사오 사사키> 구혜선이 함께 하는 감성 콘서트
‘With you’ =Sasaki's "WITH YOU" tour with GHS
“저 혼자였다면 절대 그렇게 많은 관객분들이 찾아오지 않으셨을 거에요.”
Goo: "If it was just me, not too many people would have come to the concert."
“구혜선씨가 있어서 더 특별해진 거죠.”
Sasaki: "GHSssi made it more special."

어깨를 나란히 하고 앉은 두 사람은 연신 싱글벙글이다. 피아니스트와 배우. 같이 자리할 이유가 없을 법한 두 사람이지만 이들은 이미 지난 주에 함께 콘서트를 열었으며, 오는 10월부터 전국 투어 연주회도 앞두고 있다.
Both are all smiles. A pianist and an actress--most of us would not have imagined such a working relationship to materialize. But they just had their concert together on the 9/5th and they will continue their work through a musical tour starting October.

“1200석 극장이 가득 찼어요. 두 곡을 같이 연주했는데, 잘 리드에 주셔서 정말 많은 도움 받았죠.”(구혜선)
Goo: "1200 seats were filled. He led me well when we perfomed two songs and I am very grateful."

지 난 5일 '구혜선&이사오 사사키 음반 제작발표 기념 작은음악회'를 통해 호흡을 맞춘 이 둘은 동시에 새 앨범을 낸 뮤지션이기도 하다. 이사오 사사키의 신보는 반가움이지만, 배우이자 직접 그린 일러스트레이트 삽화가 실린 픽션집 ‘탱고’를 펴 내고 삽화 전시회를 열었으며 단편영화 감독으로도 데뷔한 구혜선의 음반에는 놀라움이 더해진다. 전방위 활동으로 최근 ‘구오나르도 다빈치’라는 별명을 얻기까지 한 구혜선은 그런 수식어가 “아직 너무 벅차다”며 곤란한 웃음이다.
Praises of their accomplishments. Goo feels burdened by people calling her Goo-Onardo.

“ 곧 크랭크 인 할 영화에 들어갈 음악과 그림을 미리 선보인 거라서, 영화를 보시면 ‘아, 저기서 나오는 음악이었구나’ 하실 거에요. 그래도 전 연기자니까 연기가 가장 먼저이고, 다른 활동들이 연기에도 도움이 되는, 한 분야라고 생각해요. 종합적으로 무얼 보여드릴 수 있고, 제가 또 그런 쪽에 관심이 있고, 사람들과 공유할 수 있는 거라고 생각하기 때문에 자연스럽게 하게 되는 것 같아요.” Goo's explanation of all her work for one purpose.

특히 ‘별별이별’과 ‘골목을 돌면’ 등 그녀가 작곡한 곡을 이사오 사사키와 함께 녹음해 서로의 음반에 실린 것도 이색적이다.
“피아노는 연습을 굉장히 많이 해야 하는데, 구혜선씨가 시간이 별로 없으셔서(웃음). 연습시간이 많으시다면 충분히 더 잘 하실 거라고 생각해요.”(이사오 사사키) Their collaboration of two songs by Goo. Sasaki:"I feel that if she is able to afford the time to practice more, she would be even better." Goo smiles.

지난 해 ‘Prologue’에 이어 1년 만에 만나보는 이사오 사사키의 새 앨범에는 ‘별’, ‘오빠생각’, ‘과수원길’ 등 한국인들에게 정겨운 동요들이 또 다른 편곡으로 탄생해 있다.
“평소 제 앨범의 색과는 다른 느낌이 들 거에요. 한국의 많은 분들이 알고 있는 곡을 모았어요. 주변 분들이 많이 추천해 주시기도 했고요. 10년 동안 성원해 주신 분들에 대한 감사의 마음을 담은 앨범이라고 할 수 있습니다.” Sasaki's explanation of his current album which he dedicates to Korean who have shown him so much support over 10 years.

그의 대표곡인 ‘Sky Walker’와 ‘A letter of song’ 등을 비롯, 새 앨범에 수록된 곡으로 짜여진 프로그램으로 오는 10월 11일 서울을 시작으로 고양, 성남, 대구, 부산으로 이사오 사사키 투어 콘서트 ‘With You’를 이어갈 예정이다. 특별 게스트인 구혜선과의 합주도 이 모든 무대에서 만날 수 있다. Sasaki's music tour called "WITH YOU" will visit 5 cities starting 10/11/09, with GHS.

“항상 관객의 입장에서 콘서트를 보는 입장이었는데, 사사키 씨 덕분에 예술의전당에도 서 보고(웃음). 연기자로서는 그 무대에 서 볼 일이 사실 없잖아요. 굉장히 영광이고 또 연습도 정말 많이 해야 할 것 같아요.”
Goo: "As an actres, I probably would never have the chance to perform in such grand art centers. Thanks to Sasaki-ssi, I have become a performer rather than the usual audience in such places. It is a big honor for me and I must practice really really hard."

Goo Hye Sun's Radio Interview with Lee Hyun Woo (09/10/09)

And MinSun shirt surfaced for the 3rd time.
Goo Hye Sun must really love to wear it on special occasions.





가을, 남자, 그리고 음악! 두번째 이야기
이루마 & 이현우 & 구혜선 & 이사오사사키

Autumn, Man, then Music! Second story
Yiruma & Lee Hyun Woo & GHS & Iso Sasaki

사진을 꺼려하셨던 루마님,
오늘따라 얼굴 까메 보이는 현우님,
백옥같은 피부의 혜선님,
차렷! 하신 이사오 사사키님

Yiruma-nim who hesitated taking pic.
HyunWoo-nim whose face seemed darker today. (because of GHS? hehe)
HyeSun-nim with facial color of white gem.
Isao Sasaki-nim with his ATTENTION! pose.


여러분의 청각이 좀... 호강 했죠?
All of your listening ears---they must all feel enriched?

평범한 이야기 말고,
스튜디오 이야기 말고,
대기실에서의 뒷 이야기가 궁금하시죠?
지금부터 시작입니다!

Not the normal, run-of-the-mill story,
Not even a studio story,
You are curious for the private, backstage story, right?
Well, it is about to start!


모자를 쓰고, 가방을 메고, 수수한 모습으로 혼자! 솔로!로 오신 구혜선님!
설마... 설마... 했어요!
그런데 정말 설마 였습니다!
얼굴도 예쁜데, 음악도 잘하고, 그림도 잘그리고, 연출까지...
대부분 이런 사람들은 성격이 별로잖아요;;
요즘은 하늘이 공평하지 않다는 말이 딱인가봐요.
성격도 좋더라구요!!
여자한테 반하기 쉽지 않은데, +_+ 정말 눈이 부셨어요.
그 털털함에서 더 반했습니다.
매니저도 없이 혼자 택시타고 방송국까지 들어오실 줄은 꿈에도 몰랐지요;;
매니저 분은 나중에 오시더라구요~>_< 그렇게 오셔서 대본을 보시더니, 머리를 곱게 땋시고, 이쁜 미모를 마구 뽐내셨구요, 피아노 연주 하실 때, 떨리셨다고 하는 이야길 살짝 들었습니다 ^^;

She came all alone with her cap, carrying her bag, so unpretentious HyeSun-nim! Alone!
Well, I never knew she would really do that!
But it was really true!
She has a pretty face, great in music, great in art, even in directing....
Most of the time, people like that have terrible personality.
It seems to be correct what they say--that Heaven is not fair.
Even her personlity is great!!
I do not become easily attracted to all women +_+ My eyes were dazzled.
I even felt more attracted to her down to earth manners.
She came alone without her manager! I never thought she would just grab a cab and come to the studio...
Her manager came later~>_<>


그리고 이사오 사사키님은
한국말을 다 알아들으시는 것 같았어요.
뭐 물론 아니겠지만...
어느 정도 알아들으시는 것 같았고,
오시자마자 풍기는... 그 편안함에...
저도 모르게 '안녕하세요~~'를 했으나,
역시나 잘 받아 주셨습니다.
역시 거장은 다르긴 다른가 봐요.
마지막에도 가시면서 공손히 인사까지 우리나라 말로 해주셨지요!!

Then, Isao Sasaki-nim
I had a feeling as if he understands Korean
Well, I am sure that is not the case....
But I think he understands somewhat.
As soon as he arrived, I sensed his aura of comfortableness..
Automatically, I greet him in Korean ~~
Naturally, he was so receptive
It seems that Great Artists are different.
Before he left, he was so polite and said good-bye in Korean!!


우리 루마님은 사진을 안 찍는다고 하시는 겁니다!
"저도 찍어요?"
이러시기에... "그럼 찍지 마세요~" 이럴까요?
그랬더니... 소심한 루마님...
"그래도 되나요?" 역시 귀여우신 면이 있으세요 ㅋ
농담도 항상 진담처럼, 진담은 더 진담처럼 받아들이시는 루마님이시죠 ^-^

Our Yiruma-nim! He did not think he was going to take pix!
He even asked, "Do I have to take pix too?"
I had to say, "You mean to say you are not?"
Then he says...oh our timid Yiruma-nim,,,
"Is it OK if I do?" There is something cute about his ways. haha
Our Yiruma-nim takes jokes seriously and takes serious talks even more seriously.


오늘 즐거우셨나요?
가을, 남자, 그리고 음악!
세번째 이야기 기대 많이 해주세요~!!

Did you have a good time today?
Autumn, Man, Then Music!
Please tune in for our Third story~!!


저의 사담은 계속 됩니다 ^^
Our private, backstage talk will continue.

Fan Notes on Goo Hye Sun's Over the Rainbow Concert



English Translation by bellaangel012@soompi.com

Goo Hye Sun was wearing a white dress and looked like a goddess with her hair swept to the side. She was playing the piano and the ambience/fragrance/scent and light that were projected and this fan was very much impressed/amazed. This was also very motivating for the fan to practice and try hard in all her endeavors (loose translation on my part as the fan is saying that much effort and dedication were part of the culmination of GHS' efforts for the concert [as well as all her works that have been on display so far] (as what GHS has been basically saying in all her interviews so far and a point that has been emphasized in her interviews be it print or media)

1. To this fan, GHS was basically radiating and looked like a goodess. She really stood out to her even amongst, Isao and Gummy. The fan thought GHS appeared really tall (probably because she has a short torso - much much jealousy on my part!) and was happy and cheerful throughout the concert.

2. GHS did change into the 2NE1 style as Nina posted in the picture above.

3. The concert overall seemed like a success. Gummy performed the "when I turn in the alley song" and the pianist Choi In Hyung was also there who also performed as well the 2 songs: The Sound of Rain and Love's Dream and praised GHS and said that she enjoyed working with her.

4. This was also mentioned in several of Sue's translations but this fan also mentioned that Gummy said how she observed/sensed/gathered the sadness in GHS' works and everyone must support and love GHS.

Radio Interview of Goo Hye Sun and Isao Sasaki at Yoo Hee Yul's Radio Heaven at 89.1MHz KBS 2FM (9/03/09)






English Translation by susamerica@soompi.com:

(Yoo Hee Yul’s Radio Heaven definitely seems like the kind of a music program that GHS would really love: kind of music he plays on air and his mellow, gently blunt and funny yet philosophical style,,,, I liked him too.)

She even admits to Yoo that she listens to him all the time and that she really likes him. She says she loves his sense of humor. Yoo requested that GHS’ statement be recorded special for his keepsake. (hahaha)

It is her first time meeting Yoo in person and finds him very handsome. It made Yoo turn red (according to GHS) and he also became distracted for a minute. He lost his speech for a second and told her that he also enjoys playing piano.(Maybe Yoo is offering that he would be willing to jam with her sometimes? It was funny! Also, GHS is true to her words as she said in TBS Kings’ Brunch Program. She cannot hold back if she likes somebody. She expressed in public radio program that she not only loves Yoo’s program and finds him very handsome but that she also likes him! Hahaha!)

He was embarrassed and thought that Isao Sasaki would think of him "crazy”. Everybody laughs. Then he says that he does not know what he is saying and he and GHS laugh. In the beginning of the program when he is introducing GHS and Isao Sasaki, he told GHS that he feels as if his eyes just turned bright and clear just by looking at her in person and expressed his admiration. (GHS and Yoo's flirtings with each other on air was adorable! Later, after GHS and Isao Sasaki have left already, one of his listeners send in a comment that today's program was quite different than before! hahaha)

She and Sasaki played combined with . GHS says that he and she are going to play that fusion music for the next CD together. (Wow, another CD already in preparation!)
GHS first approached Sasaki by sending him her music for review and GHS became Sasaki’s fan ever since she heard his as a child. Her first impression of Sasaki when she met in person was that he seemed like a very kind-hearted “AhJuhssi or Uncle”. That is how she calls Isao Sasaki and he understands it. They have met since about two months ago. (Remember she went to Japan in early July?)

Regarding his free concert, he could not clarify as he does not know the details. GHS gained confidence to publicize her music because she also found out that Sasaki never learned piano professionally, just like herself. They share that commonality~ they both love to play and work on their music on their own and to create music on their own. Sasaki also learned various musical instruments on his own like violin and flute.

His first impression of GHS was, like everybody else, that she is very cute. He did not know much about her as he does not watch TV that much. Then he found out more about GHS through internet and found her to be a very impressive woman. He also found her music very refreshing and that is why he wanted to work with her. Sasaki also played his own composition, “A Beautiful Meeting”~ WOW, so good! What an appropriate title also for their first appearance together in public!!

It was announced by Yoo’s listener in this program that GHS’s is the number 3 on a particular music site! *WOW* GHS also played her with a cellist named Jung Ji Eun. *WOW* Sounds really nice with the added cello sound.( I am even more looking forward to her movie now!!!) In response to a question about the cast for her movie, GHS states that she cannot yet reveal as she is begging someone to act in her movie right now. Yoo, without missing a beat, says that, right, in case that person rejects your offer, we do not want to think of her as a horrible person! (This is the point at which GHS told Yoo that is why she likes him!)

In response to some of the email questions, GHS stated that she has not yet received the comprehensive physical after BOF. After she explains why she needs physical exam, Yoo says that he will give her "ho ho" after the show. That expression of sound is usually given to little kids who have a "boo boo or bruise" and mothers usually blow on their cuts or bruises and say "ho ho". (hahah)

She really loves and has always wanted to do something with her love of writing, composing and drawing. She has gradually become very interested in directing and making movies as a result. She has been working on her crafts all her life and so far she has accumulated over 100 compositions and songs. Isao Sasaki also played a bit of his famous . WOW!

Towards the end of his program, Yoo also plays several Tango music!! (how appropriate as he and GHS talked about her book TANGO and all her other talents!)

Goo Hye Sun Talks About Her Musical Album



Boys Over Flower's Jandi Goo Hye Sun has revealed the reason behind the making of her new musical album, "Breath". On the midnight of 4th of September, Goo Hye Sun and fellow guest Isao Sasaki were also featured on KBS Cool FM 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Radio Heaven'. In the show, the duo played 'Chopsticks' and Goo Hye Sun's 'Unusual Separations' together on the piano.

Goo Hye Sun stated during the show, "Many people misunderstand my aspirations; since I was a child, I have always wanted to be a movie director." She continued, "I have been planning a full-length musical film for a long time, and in the midst of that, I created some music beforehand. Usually the OST comes after the release of the film, but I wanted to see what it would be like to release the music first; this is why I released these songs - to reach and familiarize the public."

Sasaki revealed that he had received an offer from Goo to take part in her album. Goo responded, "As a child, I loved Sasaki's Sky Walker. Being such a big fan, it was a huge honor for me to request Sasaki to perform the music that I composed. I have never studied music professionally; I only learned a bit of piano when I was little. I had little courage to release my songs, but Sasaki's stories gave me strength. Sasaki told me he studied music by himself, which was encouraging," added Goo Hye Sun. "I made melodies every time I could think of one. I have saved about 100 songs, but only selected the best for this album."

Sasaki went on, "I usually don't watch TV so I didn't know who Goo Hye Sun was. But her first impression was so cute. Only later when I searched the internet did I realize that she was an amazing person." Goo Hye Sun explained that the title of her album, 'Breath', was chosen because it is "something that everyone does best in their lives, but is unaware of." She also stated, "I believe that the music we listen to is a BGM flowing like our lives." She also revealed that the planned musical film will likely be shot this winter.

Meanwhile, Goo Hye Sun also just completed a press conference this past hour for her upcoming projects.

Listen to Goo Hye Sun’s Sketchbook - Breathe album





Just hours after we posted the only vocal track, Down An Alley from Goo Hye Sun's musical album, the rest of the album tracks have now been uploaded onto Youtube.

Other than the vocal track (featuring Gummy), the other seven tracks on the album are full instrumental pieces composed by Goo Hye Sun, and will be used for her full-length movie, to be filmed at the end of the year.


Goo Hye Sun hopes to get her fans acclimatized to her music before viewing the actual movie. And once again, Goo Hye Sun did the artwork for her album jacket and you can get a feel of it from her album cover picture below. All of the track names are pretty philosophical, which is typical of Goo Hye Sun's style. Nice soothing tracks by the way, perfect if you want something to listen to as you wind down your day.


Goo Hye Sun will also be having her album commemorative concert, Over the Rainbow on 5th September, featuring famous Japanese entertainer, Isao Sasaki.
