Singer Yoon Soo-il shares various stories related to his song "Apartment," which has seen a resurgence 42 years after its release.

According to MBN's "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night" on the 23rd, Yoon Soo-il will share his thoughts on the unexpected revival of his song "Apartment" due to Rosé's hit track "APT." in the episode airing on the 25th as part of the 22nd installment. Originally released in 1982, "Apartment" has been rediscovered following the global phenomenon sparked by Rosé's "APT." in 2024.

Opening with "It was shocking," Yoon Soo-il remarked, "Even ordinary apartments we live in undergo redevelopment after 40 years. This is the perfect timing for redevelopment," expressing his gratitude toward Rosé.

As Yoon Soo-il prepares to launch a nationwide tour concert celebrating his 50th anniversary since debut, he stated, "Shouldn't I meet Rosé as well?" revealing plans for a world tour that includes the United States, Japan, and even Australia and New Zealand, where Rosé grew up, raising expectations. Attention is focused on Yoon Soo-il's passionate activity plans even on his 50th anniversary.

However, Yoon Soo-il also revealed a past crisis when media appearances were completely halted ("all-stop") shortly after the release of his hit song "Apartment," forcing him into an involuntary break, which has left many shocked.

Additionally, it is reported that Yoon Soo-il not only created the song title "Apartment" but also coined the term "APT," a representative example of Konglish unique to Korea, sparking further interest. Attention is drawn to the behind-the-scenes story of the title "Apartment," which caused a sensation in the music scene at the time when titles dealing with joy, sorrow, anger, and happiness were the norm.

Yoon Soo-il further revealed that the lyrics of "Apartment," including lines such as "Crossing the bridge where starlight flows" and "Your lonely apartment where no one is," were inspired by actual apartments in the Jamsil area, which is now densely packed with high-rise apartment buildings, evoking a sense of profound change. This raises curiosity about how Yoon Soo-il could have drawn lyrical inspiration from the Jamsil area in the early 1980s.

Meanwhile, Yoon Soo-il also shared that the iconic opening chime sound "Ding-dong, ding-dong" from "Apartment" was accidentally created due to an incident involving a yogurt delivery woman, eliciting laughter. The story behind the opening of "Apartment," where Yoon Soo-il reportedly said, "Whenever I see the yogurt lady, I feel so grateful that I sell it to her," has captured public attention.
