19/3 Giriboy Interview part 1 w Topstarnews (eng)
Giriboy explains about Coming of Age Ceremony album "CoAC album is an album which matches the faces of already-adult Giriboy." When asked if his increasing popularity after SMTM3 did affect him in anyway while working on the album "I had the same mindset while working on it" Giriboy chose 성인 (Adult) as his favourite song on the album. When asked about where did he get his inspiration for the song, he answered "instead of getting inspiration from somewhere, i was thinking about all the hardships I've been through in my life and 'first love' came up into my mind. He then told the interviewer "in 성인 (Adult) there is an important part. If you replace the 'girl' who appeared in the song to 'the old me', you'll get shocked. He emphasised it again by asking the interviewer back "Do you understand what i was saying? How did you understand it, tell me about it" After the interviewer said "it wasnt that shocking", Giriboy replied confidently, "no, it is definitely a big deal." When asked on how long he took to make the song 성인 (Adult) He said "it was finished in a day. At first the song 성인 wasnt included in the album. But as i delayed the album, i keep wanting to add songs into the album. In this album, there is an overall topic, like 'becoming an adult' 'starting to go into society' but the most important thing was missing. That is why i started to make songs again. The band CHEEZE did the song arranging, I asked him to do a song with that kind of feeling. He immediately sent me it. As i said earlier, it came out really randomly, thats how i made it in a day." "At first 성인 was to be made the title song. If only it was made earlier, i couldve also filmed a MV for it, but as the title song was already released, MV filmings also ended at that time, so it wasnt included for the title track." What was the longest time you took to produce a song? "All of the songs were not that difficult. It was probably finished in a day. This isnt a big deal though. It cannot be expressed as a big deal. Other artists finished songs in a day too. If you think too complicatedly about making songs, good songs dont usually come out of it. So (most of the artists) do it like that too. " "I wish people dont think too complicatedly to find meanings in my songs. It is good when people go like "this is this that is that" and argue over the meanings in my songs, but i wish people dont think too much about it while listening." "This time the album has a shocking guide to listening to it." "Why is 왕복30분 (back and forth 30 mins) the title? It is because you have to listen to the album back and forth. There are points to everything. The first point is the album cover. Second point is the lyrics in 성인 (replacing the 'girl' in the song to 'the old me'. Third point is 'why is the title track Back and Forth 30 mins' (so youd have to listen to the album back and forth). The OUTRO being the first track of the album is also another point. I was very nervous if someone else would do it (putting OUTRO as first track) before my album was released. It is really cool. The first lyrics of the last track of the album 좀해, 'this is the first rap of the album', you have to listen to the album again starting from the last track. I really paid a lot of attention to this album." 잘지내냐 (How you doin' feat vasco and genius no chang) "People thought of this as a love song, but i wrote this song especially for those people who once looked down on me" Skit (CHEEZE 사리추가 ver) "It is a good song to listen to while showering" 마치짜기라도한둣이 (Like as fixed) featuring Cjamm and Blacknut "It is related to SMTM. In SMTM i once had a rap battle with Cjamm. At that time, the MC Kim Jun Pyo said "like as fixed, Cjamm and Giriboy met each other in this battle" That is where i got the inspiration."
