As KBS World TV will be subbing Happy Together 3 and Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook, I will not sub it. Here's a rough translation of the talk between Turbo and Yoo Hee Yeol on Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook. While waiting for ths subs to be out, I hope you enjoy the rough translation below!
[160108 Turbo's talk with Yoo Hee Yeol on Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook]
YHY: In 15 years, they have returned. Turbo, 3 people have came. Welcome!
Turbo: Hello, nice to meet you!
YHY: Since you appeared in a long time, from Mikey, please greet coolly.
Mikey: Hello, returning from USA, I'm Mikey who resumed singing again. Nice to meet you.
KJN: Hello, nice to meet you. Returning as a member of Turbo, in charge of performance (I do rap sometimes), I'm Kim Jung Nam. Nice to meet you.
KJK: I'm Kim Jong Kook who resumed singing in a long time
YHY: I heard you appeared here on Sketchbook for the first time
KJK: Yeah, that's right. Actually when we released the album, we didn't think of music shows. Releasing the album, we focused on having performances and doing activities, but while doing it... But if we were to appear on music shows, we thought of appearing on Sketchbook. We talked about being on Sketchbook will be good for performances and being on stage.
Mikey: That talk was difficult for me. First show was on Sketchbook. (*unlike many other music shows, sketchbook does not only limit you to perform one or two songs, so I guess that is what he meant by difficult)
YHY: For me, it is a thankful thing as their first stage is at here. At times like this, please applaud. 👏🏻 At that time, there should be people who remembered your popularity. Wherever you go, you can hear Turbo's songs. You were people that were known as Nation's Singers. Firstly, let's hear briefly from Kim Jong Kook and Kim Jung Nam sing. Let's hear what kind of songs.
KJK: At that time, there is our debut song 'My Childhood Dream'.
KJN: <sings 'My Childhood Dream'>
YHY: But I remembered it wasn't this voice
KJK: I wanted to sing but he sang instead. He has greed for singing.
KJN: My Childhood Dream
YHY: It wasn't sang in a long time, that's why
KJK: Maybe it was sang in a sudden
YHY: And other songs?
KJN: 'Black Cat Nero'
KJK: <sings 'Black Cat Nero'> we have this too
KJN: In the 2nd album..
KJK: <sings 'Twist King'>
YHY: One more, one more
KJN: But there are two songs left
YHY: Okay then two more
KJN: 'Love Is..'
KJK: 'Love Is...'?
KJN sang KJK's part, so it sounded weird
YHY to KJN: Are you sure you are the same member?
KJN: To match Jongkook's key, it's impossible for normal people, and I'm just singing at my own limit. It's difficult for women too. "Ehhhh?" (*someone in the audience said it) It's true!
YHY: Kim Jong Kook has a high tone, so it's naturally difficult to follow
KJN: And also ballads
KJK: <sings 'Some Jazz Bar'>
YHY: There are about 4 people over there screaming
KJK: I told them not to make it so obvious though..
YHY: So they are your fans
KJK: Yeah, there are some fans who came
YHY: They are holding on some cheering towel.. what is written on it? "Again! Starting Turbo Engine"
KJK: From debut, I was embarassed by the analogy 'engine'
YHY: Ah, to turn it on
KJK: Yes, because it's an engine
YHY: And the songs with Kim Jong Kook and Mikey
Mikey: From the start..
KJK: <sings ' White Love'>
KJN: I will reveal it here (he pauses for a while)
KJK: Okay, I know it. (White Love) was recorded with Jungnam-hyung. And this song came out a little when I was with Jungnam-hyung, in a winter album, but this hyung fled away, and it was released in another album with Mikey when he came in.
KJN: As I don't go to ski resorts ㅋㅋㅋ (*the korean name of the song White Love actually direct translates to 'At The Ski Resort')
YHY: And other songs
KJK: <sings 'Goodbye Yesterday'> (* Mikey was supposed to sing but KJN sang instead)
Mikey to KJN: Hyung, I will do it
YHY: And what is glad to see is that, nowadays you cannot really remember and follow right, but now even if they sing 'It must be like that~ (*a part of Goodbye Yesterday, everyone will know what song is it
KJK: And then there is <sings 'Reminiscence'>
KJN: I think I lost (to Mikey) in this song, so I really hate this song (*Reminiscence is in the 3rd album, released after KJN left and Mikey came in)
Mikey: In opposites, because of this song, my place (in Turbo) is secured. Before that, I was at the bottom.
KJN: Without this song, I...
Mikey: I really love this song
KJK: I'm sorry but they are still not really close among themselves ㅋㅋㅋ
Mikey: It's vague between us. We want to be close while doing broadcasts but..
YHY: You will be closer during recording, while talking. While watching from the side, the difference between now and then, then you were in your 20s.
KJK: That's right
YHY: Watching from TV, at that time you just want to do well and succeed, but for now, you look like you are having freedom and enjoying it.
KJK: Back then when we were recording in the recording room, we couldn't even laugh for once. It's not enjoyable. It was just work for us, we just prepared, do as we are told, sang and then returned home. As a whole, we had many laughters during recording this time and it was enjoyable. At that time, although we are Turbo, but Turbo wasn't ours. Although many people thought of us as Turbo, but for us, the album now is ours. When we first made this album, we talked about doing our best in this album, and that is how it started.
Mikey: At the start, it was like "How about we do it like this?"
YHY: You all enjoyed it
KJK: That's right
KJN: At the recording room, it was the first time we laughed, truthfully.
YHY: It feels good right?
KJN: You are asking because you don't know
YHY: Let's give them an applause ㅋㅋㅋ
KJK: We are really happy
YHY: I never thought of those words before.
Kim Jung Nam worked in the recording room for so long, but it was the first time they actually laughed. My heart suddenly felt strange. As Turbo returned with 'Again', many people thought, "Wouldn't it be good if it is released as a single?" But I was shocked. There were 19 songs.
KJK: Actually back then during the Turbo albums, we had many songs too. Nowadays, a lot of singles are being released, so even if many songs are released, there won't be much of a good chance for people to listen to it. I thought about it a lot but it's a 20th debut anniversary album. Since it's an album that came out in a long time, actually we had this talk from the start. "Hyung, Mikey, for this album, let's not think about earning money. For this album, it's just a 20th debut anniversary album, let's just be satisfied about the quality of the album." And also other talks such as, since there will definitely be profits, as much as the album, let's release the quality of it. For me personally, I don't know if it is something I should feel, but for the two of them, it may be sensitive since it involves money, but since they are normally good at making the mood go, that is how the album is made.
KJN: I should have wrote it back then, a contract. Why is it so is because, I didn't think that I will be doing music all over again. It's not about any requirements, but if I were to do it at other places, I will never do it. Because of what Jongkook said, he didn't say it like "Hyung, let's do it!", but he said "Hyung, let's do it together". Because of that, I said "I will do whatever you are doing". I felt that way.
KJK to KJN: I meant to do it together like that (*points at Mikey too)
KJN: I really didn't know that ㅋㅋㅋ
KJK: We are doing it with Mikey
KJN: But I really like it (doing it with Mikey)
*There was an awkward silence 😂
YHY: But it feels good. It feels good but strangely I always teased Kim Jong Kook whenever I meet him but it feels strange now. It's a strange feeling.
KJK: For me, I feel good. I am very satisfied to see that the two of them (KJN & Mikey) can do broadcasts happily.
YHY: What I am surprised is that, while all of you are doing music, all of you must have thought a lot, what kind of songs you want to have. What I am glad about is, the memories back then are still here. It's like Turbo
KJK: Because the songs will be released to many people, we will only have songs as long as the quality of them is good. We thought about it a lot. Since we returned in 20 years, the thoughts of how to show and make music Turbo-like, are the biggest. On the songs, not only people can listen to winter songs, we thought of showing music that feels like Turbo is back.
Mikey: We didn't think of doing well on music charts, or the rankings either.
KJK: When I said not to earn money, I am actually asking to at least break-even.
KJN: Our music is not old school. Our album is Turbo-like. It's like the music we heard of Turbo 15 years ago but time is passing by right, so it's called refined Turbo music. I hope everyone put their hands together... (*audience claps) I like this a lot.. Please clap longer 😅
YHY: It may be for the audience, and for the three of you as well, but I guess all of you didn't expect this to happen. Lastly, things that the two of you expect from Kim Jong Kook
KJN: For me, I have been thinking about this since 1 year ago, I felt that he is like a fence. Although he is a little brother to me...
KJK: (Although he is a little brother to me) but physically?ㅋㅋㅋ
KJN: It's like within the fence, he's like a little brother that you can do anything comfortably in front of him. Although Jongkook is doing more well, I hope Jongkook can be at the same place as he is right now, so that me and Mikey can work hard and gradually catch up with him.
KJK: I feel the same way with Yoo Jae Suk. I hope he will always be healthy. I feel the same.
Mikey: For me, the company this time is called The Turbo Company. I signed a contract there but the contract duration is too short.
KJN: I think like that too
Mikey: If only the duration can multiply by 10
YHY: Multiply by 10? You are telling me you want to stay there forever
Mikey: Because I can't make it elsewhere, alone. So I hope to stay beside Jongkook-hyung forever..
YHY: Who is the boss of The Turbo Company?
KJN: Him (points at Kim Jong Kook) ㅋㅋㅋ
KJK: No, we are doing this together~
Mikey: If I can't be a singer, I can be a translator when Jongkook goes for his overseas schedules, or even become a manager, anything is fine.
KJN: I can be a driver, I drive really well
KJK: I will change the contract definitely
YHY: I'm seeing this for the first time, a situation to change the contract like this is a first.
Mikey: I like this company, they buy me food well.
YHY: So what will happen to Turbo in the future? Are we able to see Turbo often?
KJK: We want to have many performances. By having performances, while doing music with many people, we want to create performances. If its possible, we hope to appear on variety shows. And for music shows, we actually wanted to only appear on Sketchbook but many people are talking about it so we are thinking about it a lot.
KJN: We are thinking if we are going to do it or not since we got first place
Mikey: Hyung, you can't be like this
KJK: He's someone with a lot of ambition
YHY: I can see, I thought I'm watching Star Wars today ㅋㅋㅋ It has been a long time, but Turbo returned with 'Again'. I want to hear new songs.
KJK: Actually just now performing 'Again' is to show a strong feeling, but we also have a song like 'Reminiscence', a medium tempo song. We want to bring the song to everyone.
YHY: I want to thank the three people that appear today. Thank you!
Turbo: Thank you!
<sang 'Hide And Seek' , 'Love Is...', 'White Love', 'Twist King' and 'Reminiscence' for encore>

kan....bestnya tgk dorang pefom semula bertiga atas stage macam tu
terbaik lah performance dorang kat YHY's Sketchbook ni berbanding kat concert2 lain aritu
dancers pun ngam jer dgn lagu2 dorang
stage dia kecik jadi dorang tak perlu byk bergerak
suara pun tak bunyi macam tak cukup nafas
paling suka tgk dorang bawak lagu Hide and Seek live tu
rasa cam lagi bagus dari recording punya
Xports News - Naver: Turbo "Making our first comeback stage on 'Sketchbook' was hard"
1. [+1,149, -24] Thank you for performing. This is their first comeback stage but their synergy is great
2. [+864, -24] Kim Jong Kook is really cool. Turbo hwaiting~
3. [+617, -20] I'm so happy!!! I really love the song~~~^^
4. [+523, -18] God Turbo~~~~!!!!^-^
5. [+454 -9] Dancing Queen is a good song ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
6. [+196, -3] Kim Jong Kook has such a nice voice... Even better live. It's totally similar to the CD version
7. [+190, -2] Their agency back then overworked them in events and hardly paid them. Kim Jong Kook got so much hate for slacking on his dances but that's because he was frustrated. There was so much corruption in that agency. Whenever Cha Tae Hyun appeared on broadcast, he always mentioned that Kim Joong Kook cries when he drinks. Thankfully, Mikey was there with him during his hardships and also took good care of him as he was getting more famous. I like that Turbo's finally making music again
8. [+179, -2] Turbo suffered so much under that gangster CEO... It's a relief that they made it out alive
NAVER:
1. [+973, -15] Kim Jong Kook is honestly awesome
2. [+571, -13] This is the first time I've watched YHY's Sketchbook just to see Turbo's live ~~ As I fan, I couldn't help but worry but I worried for nothing!!! Jong Kook-ssi still has it !!!No matter what, Jong Kook-ssi is the coolest when he's singing^^ It's great to see them looking so happy~ Please take a listen to their songs^^ I'm happy lately because of Turbo^^
3. [+514, -12] Kim Jung Nam and Mikey must be forever thankful to Kim Jong Kook
4. [+358, -12] Jong Kook hyung has always been a star
bila KJK nyanyi live, it's almost always better than CD version
reason why i fall in love with him hihihi... singer who can sing live, with nice good humble shy & a little bit awkward personality
seriusly terharu & a little bit emotional. i dont really care much about turbo reunion sebab xder emotional connection with them, but it's nice tengok diaorg share stage bertiga. kim jong kook on the other hand, me rasa me start jadi his fans after his last album kluar so cuma dapat tengok dianya promotion & performance after all the hype are dead. then forever plak nak tunggu dianyer next album sampai me hampir give up menunggu huhu..
mmg best!
Hebat KJK...berjaya satukn KJN dgn Mikey, walaupun kedua2 rappers ni masih kurang selesa lagi antara satu sama lain
tp atas pentas, semua dpt bekerjasama dgn baik
semua yg rapat dgn JK, akan rapat jgk dgn tiny
teringat eps Hyunjin jadi guest kali kedua RM (kalau tak silap), nama JK sorang jer Hyunjin sebut padahal dorang belum rapat pun lagi
just kidding...sesuka hati dia jer singkatkn perkataan tu
