007. uh. Are you a YouTuber?

“I’m sure you’re doing better than I imagined.”

Cho In-woo continued to watch the piano video that suddenly became an issue on You Tube from the other day.

“I miss the sound. It looks like it was just recorded with a cell phone.”

The speaker listening to the Nutube performance was surprisingly expensive if someone in the know saw it, but I felt a little bit disappointed with the unclear sound quality.

“Especially the moonlight is ridiculous.”

Even more so when you read the comments that you found out why Beethoven’s moonlight seen in the comments on You Tube is called moonlight.

“Isn’t he a real pianist? Are you going overseas?”

Cho In-woo thought that it would never be easy to impress ordinary people who have not had much experience with piano playing.

the performer’s sense of skill. Because I thought it was possible to go beyond a considerable level in all of those areas.

“But somehow it feels strangely familiar. I think I saw it somewhere.”

most important fact. It was the fact that the appearance at first glance in the video was somehow familiar.

A face that I have never seen before.

“hello!”

In the midst of my troubles, someone vigorously opened the door and entered.

“yes?”

It was the person who rented the piano practice room about a week ago. The piano plays just fine.

The moment you make eye contact and want to be greeted.

Jo In-woo looked at the video he had played and the face of the young man in front of him.

It was similar.

“uh. DDP?”

“yes?”

Song Jae-ik asked back at the vague words, and Jo In-woo turned the monitor screen he was looking at.

“Is this a DDP pianist?”

“ah. Yes. That’s right.”

Song Jae-ik let out a shy smile. No matter how many videos you posted on You Tube, recognizing yourself by watching those videos was another matter.

“really?”

“yes. You played the piano at DDP the other day, right?”

Jo In-woo tilted his head at the answer. Apparently about a week ago.

Even when that young man first played the piano, wasn’t it literally a beginner piano?

However, the figure you see at a glance in the video is definitely the same person.

The gap between the piano performance I felt then and the piano performance unfolding in the video was so great that I could not ignore it.

‘Because he’s a YouTuber, did he practice to look bad?’

It’s like you’re a completely different person.

“Can you play the piano for me?”

That’s why Jo In-woo literally came out of nowhere without going through his brain.

I was thinking about playing the piano in the video until just now.

But when the target appeared in front of my eyes, how could I just let this situation go by?

“yes?”

Song Jae-ik thought that the president in front of him was quite an unexpected person.

To ask yourself to play the piano endlessly. However, Jo In-woo’s eyes looking at him were clearly not just simple curiosity.

‘I can hit it though.’

In the midst of such thoughts, Song Jae-ik’s eyes turned to the grand piano in the center of the practice room.

The grand piano that Jo In-woo cherishes.

I’d never seen it played before, but when I saw it the other day, I didn’t even let anyone play it.

Didn’t one person who tried to touch the grand piano unknowingly get scolded?

He said you’re an expensive guy to touch.

“He’s over two hundred million. Aren’t you curious?”

And Jo In-woo nodded as if he understood, as if he had read Jae-ik Song’s eyes.

The most expensive instrument you own. Steinway custom grand piano.

It was one of Jo In-woo’s cherished items, who pays full attention to every tuning.

“Two hundred million?”

I knew that grand pianos were expensive, but at the words of two hundred million, I swallowed and sat down in front of the piano.

I don’t know how much DDP’s piano is, but what is certain is that there will be no comparison.

And Um Kang-seok, who followed, took his cell phone and turned on the video recording mode as Song Jae-ik sat down in front of the piano.

Song Jae-ik definitely didn’t seem to have an awareness of being a nutuber yet. In such an important situation, sitting right in front of the piano, looking at the keys.

After staring at the keyboard for a while, Song Jae-ik raised his hand and pressed the first key.

And by the time the resonance of the first note is gone, the second note is heard. And he pressed the keys faster and faster.

It was such a fantastic sound that it was a shame to compare it to the piano I played at DDP.

“Chopin? A fantasy improvisation?”

Jo In-woo began to appreciate Song Jae-ik’s performance with a distinct color in his eyes.

Cho In-woo could not keep his senses while listening to the reverberant sound of Steinway.

I was always interested in music, especially classical music, so I often watched YouTube videos and was active in the community.

And the latest issue was a YouTube video that set the community bulletin board ablaze.

Channel name Challenge Everything. I don’t know what the name was, but it was a really bad name, and there were only three videos.

One is Mozart’s Little Star, one is a movie OST, and one is Beethoven’s controversial Sonata No. 14 Moonlight.

As for the conclusion, it was good. no it was really good

It’s self-taught and nabal in the title, but isn’t it great if you just play the piano well?

To play like that on an upright piano on the street.

It was a poor sound quality, but it was enough to make me curious.

In addition, it was a high-quality performance that I hadn’t heard in a long time, and it made me feel very good.

But it really couldn’t have been more of a bizarre coincidence. To say that the main character of that channel was a young man practicing in his practice room.

“ah.”

As the song’s name suggests, when the fantastic performance was over, Jo In-woo let out a deep sigh.

I had goosebumps all over my body.

In an instant, an argument from the community came to mind.

It’s an edit. to lift someone up It is absolutely not a self-learning skill. It was good, but not to that extent.

‘You fools. If this isn’t real, what the hell is real?’

It felt as if time had stopped. No, I just wanted time to stop like this.

Only then will you be able to feel this feeling you feel now forever. However, with Song Jae-ik’s words, Jo In-woo returned to reality.

“It’s good.”

Song Jae-ik stood up from his chair with a satisfied smile.

As Jo In-woo said, it was a really nice piano. I’ve only played the piano a few times, but it’s hard to compare.

Just as much as your piano playing skills have soared, your listening ears have also grown.

“I wonder, aren’t you a real pianist? Are you a major student? Or just a pianist.”

Jo In-woo, who woke up from the illusion, asked back as if it didn’t make any real sense. That’s because Song Jae-ik’s performance was fantastic.

“yes. That fluent civil servant.”

“No, like the title of You Tube, even though you didn’t learn piano professionally, you show that kind of performance now? no! It’s that kind of performance, but it’s a problem that I don’t play the piano!”

At the word that he was frustrated, Song Jae-ik smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and Jo In-woo burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded by the answer.

“Huh, true. It’s real. Well, if you’re a pianist who can play like this, there’s no way I wouldn’t have known about it.”

Cho In-woo muttered something difficult for Song Jae-ik to understand, then sighed and asked.

“So what is your true identity? A liberal arts student?”

It was a question out of genuine curiosity.

If it’s a performance like that, I’m sure it’s an international competition. I thought it would be good to go to places like Chopin, Tchaikovsky, or Queen Elizabeth and win.

“Well. Are you a YouTuber?”

Song Jae-ik, who couldn’t find an answer for a long time, smiled and said as if he had found an answer when he saw Um Kang-seok, who was mesmerized by his performance.

“Huh, I thought you were a YouTuber, not a real pianist.”

“Perhaps a video other than the piano was uploaded today? By now?”

Jo In-woo muttered in a dejected voice after confirming that the ramen video was uploaded on Song Jae-ik’s channel.

“Ramen?”

Ramen all of a sudden 3 piano videos and ramen. Even if you keep uploading piano videos, it’s not enough!

“Huh. But what the hell is the purpose of the channel? Ramen after the piano.”

“Literally, Challenge Everything. It’s about challenging everything.”

It was vague and absurd, but Cho In-woo became interested in Song Jae-ik’s words.

Isn’t that a rare word in this day and age? That is what it means to challenge something.

Besides, it wasn’t just words, it was actions.

“So, are there any results?”

“I, who used to cook ramen with water from the Han River, uploaded a video of ramen cooking and taught myself to play the piano. It’s a starting point, so there’s no big achievement.”

“Hoo?”

Read at readwn. com

Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was not lying. The expression on the face of the friend who came with me was the same.

“great.”

At those words, Jo In-woo stood up as if he had made up his mind on something.

“great!”

“yes?”

“The practice room is rented out for free. Instrument rental is at a minimal cost.”

“yes?”

Song Jae-ik looked at him as if he couldn’t understand Jo In-woo’s unconventional conditions.

Of course, it would be nice if that was the case, but it was because it was thought that there was no way to make such a condition without a price.

“The condition is that you upload a video of you playing in our practice room at least once a month. Of course, the name of our practice room should appear on one side of the video. With no other conditions.”

Of course, it was a proposal with some calculation even for Jo In-woo.

To be honest, having such a practice room and renting instruments was nothing more than a hobby. Going to work two or three times a week.

The reason was simple. I like music. Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t play as much as he liked music.

But he had no talent. Just a hobby level. That was its own limit.

That’s why I was satisfied with meeting various musicians, supporting them, and listening to them.

And I could be sure that Song Jae-Ik’s piano playing today was better than anything he had heard in recent years.

That’s why I made this suggestion.

“The conditions are obviously very good.”

However, Song Jae-ik hesitated and avoided answering. Jo In-woo’s conditions were obviously exceptional, if any.

To say that we only had to film and upload one video a month so that the name of the practice room could literally come out without any special conditions.

It was because the situation here did not seem so good.

“Our channel doesn’t have that many people yet, so even if we promote it, it won’t mean much, right? And the rent here must be formidable…”

Seeing Song Jae-ik blurring his words, Jo In-woo wondered what he was talking about, but when he understood, he laughed out loud.

Who cares about money because business doesn’t seem to be going well for them? Because I don’t know how long it’s going to happen.

“Puhaha. are you okay. are you okay. This building is mine.”

“yes?”

And Um Kang-seok, who was watching this situation blindly.

“older brother!”

Jo In-woo, who said that this building in the middle of Seoul was his, shook hands with a completely different, brighter expression, shouting “Brother”.
