Contribution & Conceptual Framework
My role was to act as a conceptual producer and arranger for the mission-critical semi-final and final stages. My core task was to translate each participating artist's identity into a complete, narrative-driven stage performance.
This went beyond simple musical arrangement; it was 'narrative design through music.' I analyzed the artist's strengths, proposed new high-concept frameworks for existing songs, and built the arrangement around a clear story arc. This required intensive collaboration with the artist, broadcast writers, sound teams, and directors, managing frame-by-frame feedback from rehearsal to the final live broadcast.
Key Executions:
Semi-Final ("Miss Korea" by Lee Hyori):
Concept: Re-interpreted the song as a "'Corner Superstar' finding her voice."
Narrative Arrangement: Designed a build-up from a minimal acoustic intro into a full, funky band climax, musically supporting a story of "timid liberation."
Final ("DNA" by BTS):
Concept: Re-imagined the song as a story of "'SF Destiny of Love' transcending dimensions."
Key Outcomes & Validation
Critical Validation: The Semi-Final stage ("Miss Korea") achieved the 1st Place Overall Score, including a perfect 100-point score from executive producer J.Y. Park.
Public Impact: The performance clip exceeded 150,000+ views on YouTube.
Final Result: Successfully advanced to the final round (1st Place) / Runner-Up at the final stage (2nd Place).
Judge's Quote: "I hope this performance continues somewhere." (Lee Shin-hyuk, Judge)
