Hacken films MV, Almost Knocks over a Harp worth a Million Dollars

Sunday, October 22 2006

Hacken Lee treats the production of each of his albums very seriously, and requires it to be of high standards, without any flaws. This is also the case for filming the ‘Neway Hit’ promotional clip. He did his homework and loads of preparation beforehand.

Hacken went to the famous concert hall in Korea to record his newest album and even managed to invite the second runner-up of Miss Korea to be the female lead for his MV. Thus, Neway also went all out to look for a suitable location for him to film his MV so as to suit the promotion of hit K song. Finally, they found a place where people practice harp as the location for filming. When the person in charge of the place knew about Hacken’s arrival, he specially lent Hacken a hand-crafted harp that is worth over a million dollars to film the MV. He really gave Hacken ‘face’

Suddenly a Strong Man

It was unclear if Hacken had learnt about the harp when he did the recording in Korea, but when Hacken saw the harp, he was full of admiration and praise for it. He even started discussing about harps and the music history of Korea. We see that Hacken not only can sing, but seems to know the musical instruments very well also.

In one scene of the MV, Hacken was to walk around the harp a few times and also lean against the very expensive harp. However, he suddenly lost balance and almost knocked the harp over! This gave the person-in-charge a big scare. It was later found that the workers did not place the harp flat on the ground which resulted in the near destruction of a very expensive harp. Usually, the harp requires a few people to move it around, but because it was improperly placed, Hacken was able to shift it on his own.

After the incident, Hacken did not blame the worker at all. He even joked about it saying that he suddenly became a strong man so as to dispel the tension and nervousness in the atmosphere.
