[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Singer Lee Hyori revealed a glimpse of working together with her husband Lee Sang-soon on the song "Dasi Yeogi Badatga" (Back Here by the Seaside).

On the 27th broadcast of MBC's "Hangout with Yoo," Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Hyori, and Rain were shown finalizing the tracklist for the SSAK3 album.

During the broadcast, Lee Hyori stated that she asked Lee Sang-soon to compose the music for "Dasi Yeogi Badatga," which she wrote the lyrics for. Yoo Jae-suk praised, "Why didn’t Sang-soon make songs like this until now?"

On that day, Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Hyori, and Rain held a vote. As a result, composer Shim Eun-ji’s "Geu Yeoreumeul Teureojwo" (Play That Summer) and Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon’s "Dasi Yeogi Badatga" were finally selected.

At this point, Yoo Jae-suk suggested a nickname for Lee Sang-soon, saying, "Is Sang-soon using his real name or a stage name? How about 'Samsun'?" Lee Hyori told him not to, but Yoo Jae-suk retorted, "Kim Tae-hee’s husband is called Samryong, isn’t he?"

Then Lee Hyori showed concern for Lee Sang-soon, saying, "(Lee Sang-soon) oppa is dignified."

Rain responded, "Are you saying I’m not dignified?" which made everyone laugh. Yoo Jae-suk added, "What Sang-soon does and what Samsun does could be different."

Also, Lee Hyori shared an acoustic version video of Lee Sang-soon playing guitar and singing "Dasi Yeogi Badatga." Rain expressed his liking, saying, "The rap in the acoustic version is so good. It’s an old-school style."

Lee Hyori shyly said, "We were just trying to be funny, but since everyone says it’s good, it feels strange." Rain admired, "It would be great to release it as an acoustic version."
