‘What do you do when you play?’ The recording site of the group song ‘Butterfly’ where everyone became one will be revealed.

The episode of MBC‘s ‘What do you do when you play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Lee Joo-won, Wang Jong-seok, Ahn Ji-sun, Bang Sung-soo/written by Noh Min-sun), which will air on the 25th, will depict the ‘Winter Song Mates’ singing the long-awaited group song ‘Butterfly’ of the ‘Winter Song Project’.

The recording studio where the group song will be sung is a place that holds 80 years of modern and contemporary Korean music history, adding to its special meaning. Yoo Jae-suk says, “Many famous songs were recorded here,” and introduces it as the place where the song ‘Become One’, which gave strength to the people during the 1997 IMF foreign exchange crisis, was recorded. ‘Become One’ is a group song featuring the best singers of the time, including Kim Gun-mo, Lee Seung-chul, Shin Seung-hoon, Uhm Jung-hwa, Jo Sung-mo, H.O.T., and Fin.K.L.

The group song ‘Butterfly’ that the members will record is also a song that cheers on dreams and challenges, and the members express their hopes for it to become a song of hope for the New Year.

While looking over the lyrics, Yoo Jae-suk gives up his part, saying, “I wish Seunghun would sing my part. I think that would suit him better”, creating a warm atmosphere. With Yoo Jae-suk’s support, Seunghun forms a ‘Misung Duo’ with KCM and decorates the climax of ‘Butterfly’. It makes us curious as to which lyrics changed Yoo Jae-suk‘s mind.



In addition, as the 14 people split up into parts, each one is given a short but precious part. The members begin a tense practice with the warning, “If you make a mistake, you’re out! I‘ll drag you down right away.” Attention is focused on how the 14 diverse voices will complete ‘Butterfly’. The song recording site can be seen on MBC’s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, which airs on Saturday, January 25th at 6:25 PM.

Meanwhile, the ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ Winter Song Project is a project in which 14 members including Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Joo Woo-jae, Park Jin-joo, Lee Yi-kyung, Mi-joo, singer Kim Jo-han, KCM, John Park, Ailee, Haewon (NMIXX), Seung-heon-ssu (Jatsbee), actress Song Gun-hee, and fencing athlete Oh Sang-wook come together to complete a winter song. The group song ‘Butterfly (Loveholics)’ and the male unit song ‘White Whale (YB)’ remake sound sources will be released on various music sites at 6 PM on Saturday, January 25th.
