"Silence" is a song sung by Shin Wanseok, the vocalist of Sacrifice, one of the bands representing Korea.
Not just an ordinary song, but an anime theme song.
At the time, there was some talk because they inserted a new song instead of the song from the imported Japanese anime, but since the song itself was so good and the vocalist was none other than Shin Wanseok, such talk quickly died down.
As time passed, many forgot it, but it was a song still remembered by many.
However, to think they would hear that song on
Moreover, from the perspective of anime fans, the fact that a woman chose this song was fascinating from the start.
- Wow;; Max Level Rabbit has great taste
- This song is a masterpiece yeah. The original is good, the anime is good yeah
- So what is it, you nerds
- You haven't seen this???? I wish I hadn't seen it either, now I have to rewatch it
Originally, it was a song with a ballad feel, and since Max Level Rabbit's vocal style so far had been similar, they thought it would be the same this time.
However, the arrangement was a bit different.
It started with a sharp electric guitar sound from the beginning, transitioning into a screaming high note.
- Whoa, the high notes are cleaner than expected?
- It feels clean because her voice is good
- It's originally a male song so the high notes aren't that high, but she handled it well yeah
It felt a bit more exciting, yet without losing the color of "Silence".
It was such an outstanding arrangement that it made one wonder who arranged it.
As the song flowed on, the expressions of the audience, who were initially cheering, gradually changed.
Was the reaction bad?
No, it was quite the opposite.
There was a magic that made them quietly listen to the song.
As if they were becoming immersed in sentiment.
Max Level Rabbit's song strangely had that kind of feel.
Something that stimulated others' emotions.
It had the power to draw out empathy.
People didn't know the reason.
Is she that good at singing?
They weren't sure about that, but it made them empathize with that emotion and naturally fall into the music.
Max Level Rabbit's strongest weapon that allowed her to break through the rounds so far.
That voice, and the power to draw out emotions.
Perhaps because of that, the frequency of posts coming up on communities and SNS noticeably decreased until Max Level Rabbit's song ended.
And.
Finally, along with the flashy guitar tones, Max Level Rabbit's song ended.
- Was she always this good?
- Her potential exploded today
- It won't be easy for Ashen Crow, huh?
It was a King of Singers match where most predicted Ashen Crow's victory.
To the point where people even said it was too easy of an opponent.
However, after Max Level Rabbit's song actually ended, those opinions were split in half.
No, rather, the atmosphere shifted towards Max Level Rabbit.
- Who is she??? A singer???
- Seems like a singer, at least an idol yeah
- How can an idol sing like that
- Idols these days sing well too
Posts asking who Max Level Rabbit was started coming up one after another.
The host and panelists' rave reviews continued.
"This song is originally the song that became the catalyst for my parents' first meeting."
And a simple interview proceeded with a modulated voice.
The reason for choosing the song was that it was the song that led to her parents' meeting.
- No, selling nostalgia here?
- Is it real?
- As if it's real lol
- If I could get a girlfriend with something like that, I should have over ten thousand girlfriends by now lol
└ Stop... don't say anymore...
Anyway, Max Level Rabbit's words didn't feel very believable.
Well, it has to make sense to be believed.
Of course, the panelists and host just clapped enthusiastically.
Saying, "Wow, a song that was the catalyst for your parents' meeting, that's amazing~"
Of course, Suah and Youngbin in the audience, who knew the truth, only covered their faces with both hands and hung their heads.
Because they never expected their daughter to introduce that song in such a way.
Anyway.
"The final King of Singers match, with the King's seat right before your eyes!! Do you think you can seize victory against the formidable Max Level Rabbit?"
At host Song Byungsoo's shout-like question, Ashen Crow came out to the center and gripped the microphone tightly.
"Well, my memories win."
At that confident shout, cheers poured out from the audience.
Along with that, the guitar sound echoed at Ashen Crow's hand gesture.
- Declaring victory as soon as she gets on stage daebak
- 'Wins'
- But what song is this?
This side was similar.
Not a song in the style commonly heard in Korea, but a song that felt like an OST.
The problem was that they couldn't even guess at all.
An original song?
Of course, there's no rule against bringing an original song to
However, they usually don't bring them.
Because it could easily turn into a new song release showcase.
If they brought a new song, it was clear they would get a bad image later when their identity was revealed.
So, they wouldn't take such a gamble.
'What song is this?'
'Is this also an anime song?'
Such reactions were the majority.
However, when Ashen Crow grabbed the microphone in that situation, the atmosphere completely changed.
It was a refreshing song.
Just like the kind of song Max Level Rabbit had been singing until now.
Outstanding technique.
Outstanding skill.
They didn't know what song it was, but the song had a power that made one inadvertently nod their head.
In terms of empathy, there was quite a divided response.
Strangely, there were things that didn't quite reach them.
However, there were also people who empathized with it.
That was natural.
- But I think Max Level Rabbit is better?
- It's strangely emotional, but it doesn't suit me
- But her skill is seriously insane
While such reactions came up.
- What song is this, it's so good?
- I feel like I've heard this somewhere…….
- I do have a memory of hearing it a really long time ago, but I don't remember where
There were also such strange reactions.
Even though it was clearly a song that didn't fit well, it had a charm that drew you in.
"See? Because unnie sings a song like that arbitrarily. That's the reaction you get."

At the words of her manager, Song Aram, who was watching the broadcast together with her, Yeohee chugged her beer can.
Is that important right now?
The words that will come out now are more important.
"Anyway, she won."
"Is it even a win if she won by singing her own song."
"T-that's strictly speaking not my song. I didn't even register the copyright."
"Oh my. And you did well on that too."
Anyway, her manager Song Aram also had a headache.
Because she clearly knew what the content that was about to come out was.
It was natural for such a reaction to come out about the song.
From the start, when Yeohee sang this song, it wasn't aimed at the public.
It was a song she sang with a feeling of discarding things like the Hall of Fame.
Just, a song sung for one person.
So how could people empathize with it.
'She's overflowing with lingering attachment.'
She thought it was impressive that she didn't cross the line.
Because it ended with her never even meeting her and just watching from afar.
Well, she didn't know how long this situation would continue, though.
'It seems Director Kang Taejin gave separate instructions to edit it.'
The broadcast didn't show Suah and Youngbin's appearance.
It was probably because if the two of them in the audience were shown, it would be easy to deduce 'Max Level Rabbit'.
It was clear that they edited it paying attention to such parts.
'Anyway.'
The song was good.
Really.
If Yeohee had sung it for the public, it would have definitely drawn out empathy.
This was a song for one person.
No, was it two people.
The subject of lingering attachment, and one rabbit looking up at Yeohee from below right now.
She called it the opening.
Yeohee always says it like a habit.
That her life is always the opening.
It seems this song was the basis of those words.
'I don't know if it was conveyed.'
The MC's outstanding skill in dragging out time before determining the match came out, and the viewers' reactions also burned fiercely.
- Hey you f111cking bastards!!
- So who won!!!!!!!!
Especially for this match, there were many unknown aspects.
At those reactions, Yeohee rather thought it was a good thing she did this.
Of course, if she had lost, her pride would have been severely hurt.
'Anyway.'
Yeohee quietly listened to the sound of the broadcast dragging out time in various ways and thought.
Youngbin too, and Seoyeon too.
Honestly, it felt like they were hesitating about something.
Of course, she didn't know well the reason why Seoyeon felt that way.
But she roughly knew about Youngbin.
To chase a dream, he now had something to protect, so he couldn't just recklessly take risks alone to achieve his dream.
She didn't think it was a wrong thought.
No, rather it was the right judgment.
However, Yeohee wanted to see a bit more of his past self.
The him who would charge in headfirst.
'If you can do it but don't, you'll regret it, Youngbin.'
Recalling him like that, Yeohee sighed.
She thought it was really okay.
Because there were plenty of people who would believe in that side of him and be with him.
Definitely.
"Unnie, unnie. It's out. It's out!!"
Finally, the result of the
The result that came out after a full 20 minutes of dragging out time was Ashen Crow's victory by a mere two votes.
It was practically a result decided by one person's vote.
She didn't know who that one person was.
However, rather than the result of such a match that she already knew, the content after that was important.
At this time, Yeohee was in the middle of sharing a wonderful connection with Youngbin, both of them giving each other thumbs up.
At least she thought so.
The problem was Seoyeon.
In
- Who is the identity? The most likely was Flala of Eleven Rain, right?
- Flala absolutely not lol
- It's certain she's a singer yeah. I was sure after seeing the King of Singers match
- She seems young considering she said 'dad', 100% an idol for real
Amidst such internet reactions.
"Then, the moment everyone has been waiting for, Max Level Rabbit! Please take off your mask now!!"
At the same time as Song Byungsoo's shout, Max Level Rabbit took off her mask.
Because she took it off a bit forcefully, it tore with a ripping sound.
She struggled but somehow took it off.
Then, long black hair flowed down from between the mask.
Finally revealed, red eyes like a rabbit.
- ?????
- What??? Joo Seoyeon???
- Really??? No, Joo Seoyeon sang that well???
- Then why on earth did she do that in Dream Future???
As the unmasked face was revealed, the audience and panelists caused a huge stir.
Most thought she was a singer or an idol.
Or someone involved in such music, never dreaming she would be an actress.
Moreover, they knew Seoyeon hadn't learned to sing for long.
But she had this level of skill?
'She fooled them well.'
Of course, watching those reactions around her, Yeohee narrowed her eyes.
The person who arranged it made the song very well.
Perfectly suited for the singer, highlighting only Seoyeon's strengths.
Whoever it was, they weren't of ordinary skill.
Anyway, that wasn't what was important right now.
"Max Level Rabbit was actress Joo Seoyeon!! Wow, I'm surprised. How much did you practice singing?"
Song Byungsoo also spoke in a tone of genuine surprise.
No, he was genuinely surprised.
To think Seoyeon could sing this well.
- Could the one who sang the Sky Garden OST also be Joo Seoyeon?
- That? Huh?
- Seems like it's real??? Looking at it now, the voice is super similar
- No, but can a person's skill improve this fast???
Amidst those fierce reactions, Seoyeon blurted out several words that could hint at that.
"I've been doing a lot of music work lately. So I think my skill was able to improve a bit faster."
Words about music work.
"The unnie I'm acting with in a drama these days helped a lot with this arrangement."
The unnie she's acting with in a drama these days.
If they were to say someone among them who could do music, there was only one person.
Summer Girl Cha Nahee.
- Cha Nahee arranged it?
- No, Cha Nahee was at this level? The song was super good?
- What exactly is that group called Summer Girl that has such an idol and is going under...
- Shut up, they're just resting right now
- For that to be the case, they aren't particularly active lately lol
- What are you talking about, they took the Sky Garden OST
It was the moment a fight with the Summer Girl fandom was about to start.
Perhaps thinking she had fulfilled her given duty, Seoyeon's shoulders shrugged.
A strangely proud-looking face.
At the bizarre sight of her rather being relieved even though she lost the King of Singers match, people belatedly realized the reason.
- No lol She came to promote the drama, it would've been f*cking funny if she became the King lol
- True, did she come out to promote the drama lol
Come to think of it, there was no reason for Seoyeon to appear on
Since
Moreover, Seoyeon shrugging her shoulders was a move Seoyeon commonly showed in variety shows 'when she's in a good mood'.
A sight well-known to any fan of Joo Seoyeon.
"Then, do you have any last words?"
When host Song Byungsoo asked that lastly.
Seoyeon seemed about to answer no and was about to shake her head.
"Ah, there's something I want to say lastly."
She suddenly brought up such words.
Only then did Yeohee, who was drinking beer, and the manager exchange glances and glue themselves to the TV.
Because at the time, both of them were distracted by something else and didn't properly hear what Seoyeon said then.
However, looking at the surrounding reactions that followed……
'I shouldn't have coolly said I wouldn't even watch the video.'
Yeohee had even refused the video they said they'd film and send her because of her lingering attachment.
Naturally, she heard all sorts of curses from Song Aram.
"The song Ashen Crow sang, it's a song I know too."
"Ah, yes? Is that so? It was my first time hearing it."
It was the moment everyone thought it was an original song.
But Seoyeon said she had heard it before.
- What, it's a real existing song?
- Ah I remember now, it's a song I heard at the College Song Festival in the past for real
- College Song Festival??? Fuck what is that, you old fart
- Isn't it Dalpi these days?
- No, the College Song Festival still exists these days... It was a long time ago when I heard it, but...
Amidst those reactions, interest focused on what exactly the song Yeohee sang was.
For reference, Yeohee and manager Song Aram watched with disbelieving eyes.
"In the past, my parents were in a game club. At that time, they made a game…… and it was the song inserted in it."
"Yes, that, it's an original song, right?"
"Yes. The voice was similar to the person who sang it, so I was a little surprised."
Saying that, Seoyeon subtly stuck her tongue out at Ashen Crow, who was looking this way belatedly.
It was a face as if she was teasing her, saying "Nyah-nyah."
She didn't realize the meaning at that time, but now she could know.
It was spite.
She lost, yes, but it seemed she still wanted to play a little mean trick.
But this was absolutely not a little trick.
'No, damn...'
Naturally, Yeohee, who belatedly confirmed the whole story of that gesture, covered her head with both hands.
And at the same time.
Yeohee's phone started ringing as if it was on fire.
