The Road to Glory

[Are you crazy?]As anyone would have expected, that was the first reaction.The idea of Halo appearing on the Korean KDS broadcast didn’t make sense. No, if Halo were to appear on a broadcast, he would have already been on global broadcasts in the United States and the United Kingdom.If that were the case, his identity and personal information would have already been revealed.As negative comments piled up below, the original poster protested.[Isn’t it more likely for there to be one genius than two geniuses appearing?]This was certainly an easily refutable statement.Of course, everyone acknowledged that the cover performance was very impressive and the arrangement version sounded great, but the definition of a ‘genius’ was relative, and moreover-.[How many people in the world have been called a musical genius?]The criteria for genius in the arts were even more so.[TMI) Great musicians like Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn lived in the same era]└ Where is this going in 2031;;;Then, someone agreed.[The voices do sound similar]It was the same reaction as when the teaser was released, but unlike then, there were now many sources for comparison. Especially as edited versions of the stage performance were uploaded to NuTube, it became possible to compare the cover and the original.[Can someone do a voice analysis ‘for us’?]└ I have perfect pitch and it does sound a bit similar?└ Instead of analyzing your brainwaves, please analyze the frequency└ The chest voice is a bit similar but the head voice is different└ The chest voice is different and the head voice is similar?└ Why is everyone saying different thingsEveryone agreed that the voices certainly sounded similar.However, there was a fundamental misconception among the public.[I don’t even know why we’re having this debate]Suddenly talking about a cover, why is Halo being brought up?Just because Halo’s nationality is unknown, are you suddenly making him an Asian, specifically a Korean? Stop with the excessive national pride lol.Halo’s official account information is private, but the first countries they were exposed to were the UK and US. The language is also English. Halo’s music distributor is Veil in the UK and the copyright registration is with a UK association.Anyone can see he’s British.Of course, since NuTube account information can be set arbitrarily, they couldn’t be certain, but the fact that Halo’s music distributor was Veil carried significant meaning.For one, Veil wasn’t a particularly influential company in the Asian market, and therefore, wasn’t well-known in that region either.Additionally, among the artists contracted with Veil, there were hardly any Koreans, let alone Asians, which was enough to shape the image of the artist ‘Halo.’Veil was undoubtedly a distributor focused on the European market, and the artists they targeted were also of EU nationality. The only exceptions were perhaps Australians or those of British/American nationality who wanted to enter the European market.[If he was Korean, he would have signed with a Korean, or at best a Japanese or American company, not a British one, right?]There was no reason for a Korean to enter the British or European market first before the American market. If one had to make a reason, it would be that Halo’s music strongly exuded the sentiment of mid-1900s British pop.However, this was not a valid reason for Halo to sign with Veil instead of a major label like August Records.[Didn’t The Sun say he’s not white?]└He asked if they didn’t like him not being white, when did he say he wasn’t white? He just told them not to discriminate based on race└This makes me remember The Sun’s first and last reply that made fans go crazy for hurting their master└Seriously, those guys tore them apart like they hurt their master, so it’s not for nothing they’re called Haligan (HALO + Hooligan)└But Halo isn’t white, right? Someone analyzed his accent on NuTube and it sounded like a typical British upper class└He used other accents well too└It’s certain he’s a British person residing in the UKHe knew too many things that one couldn’t know unless he lived in the UK. Even some of the British jokes in ‘I Am Halo’ were apparently old jokes└Yup, old jokes that were popular when British grandpas were youngWhile Halo was undoubtedly a faceless singer who hadn’t revealed his identity, there were too many things revealed through his songs.[But couldn’t he be a Korean living in the UK?]Someone murmured tentatively, and the small war that had broken out on the internet came to an end.No, to be precise, the debate ended when the second episode of ‘Rendezvous’ aired.While the first episode introduced the artists’ performances,The second episode’s main content was the artists’ pair selections and identity reveals.From Hwang Ryongpil, Sin Joohyeok, Lee Seongrim, Liv to practically Cold Brew’s Wonder, a total of eleven artists were already quite well-known singers in Korea, so except for a few, their identities had already been revealed.
