In the 9th episode of MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley’ that aired on the 27th, Song Yoo Hyun played the piano and sang to propose to Jang Miri.
On this day, Song Yoo Hyun calls Jang Miri, who had just finished a special college lecture, to a church and turns on a slide show on a large screen that is filled with pictures of her while he sings and plays the piano.
Jang Miri sheds tears at Song Yoo Hyun’s romantic side and accepts his proposal. But the director’s decision to make Park Yoochun lip sync instead of singing live for the beautiful scene has made many viewers express their disappointment.
On the 22nd, staff of the drama who were present at a filming that occurred at a church in Gangnam, Seoul commented that they created the perfect scene with Park Yoochun’s adept piano skills and emotional voice. As his packed schedule meant that filming would have to occur in the early morning, the staff worried that Park Yoochun’s voice would be too hoarse to sing at such a time but Park Yoochun pulled through by fully utilizing the fact that he’s a singer and sang the OST piece ‘This Empty Place is For You’.
But in the actual drama, Park Yoochun was seen sitting in front of the piano but was never seen actually playing the instrument while the song was played through a BGM. Park Yoochun, who is a singer before he is an actor, had to lip sync for his drama.
Viewers who saw the episode said, “Why did they use the prerecorded OST? I’d like to know the director’s thought process”, “I don’t know why they went old-school and sat Park Yoochun in front of a piano when he’s able to both sing and play the piano”, “The scene could have been more moving but then he lip synced… that completely turned me off,” and “Because he lip synced, it actually got in the way of getting into the scene. It felt like the components of a beautiful scene didn’t work at all. I was disappointed.”

i, too was kind of disappointed. But it isnt yoochun’s fault but the director/writer’s.. Constructive criticism is always good.

Considering the director just wanted to take off some pressure for Yoochun, who we know will overwork himself when he has multiple things to do (dramas, concerts), I don’t see why certain people are being so critical. Would it have been nice if he sang it live? Yes. But if the burden to perform was less that day to prevent it from being too stressful, I’d rather have that.

If the director has done, and way that day Yuchun; was not in the
best conditions and to sing then thought of doing this.
you should think a little more to the poor health children so instead of being selfish.

He’s supposed to be a conglomerate heir, not a singer. It would have been nicer if he maybe sang a line or two of it live, then transitioned over to a pre-recording.

what the…?
He’s an actor in a drama where he’s a rich dude. Of course he won’t sing live just for the drama showing that he’s a singer in the real world… O_O
I’m just yoochun biased…

tqvm for your concerned but i had high expectation for this scene. it kills the moment when he start lip-syncs.
i think the director should resolve to other alternatives like use the mr removed version of this song with piano background to make it less obvious than using the fully prerecorded song.

oh come on~~~ why so demanding, people?? In drama, he should be judged by his acting..not his singing which we already know he is good at it! Want to see he singing live, just go to any of JYJ concerts..=_=”
