I'm curious - what does 'SCAT' means?
A scat version of any song is 'wordless'. It is a mere pronunciation of syllabus like "do-re-mi-fa-so" ; at times, the 'humming' would synchronize with the musical instruments that are used in a song.


Are Ryu Si Won, Zero and Ryu the same person?
No. They are three separate individuals. Ryu Si Won - the actor - assumed the role of Internet musician, Zero but he is not Zero off-screen. Ryu is the singer of [Winter Sonata] soundtrack - he has not taken any acting roles at present - and should not be confused with Ryu Si Won or Zero.


I cannot find anything on Zero - who is Zero?
There is no definite profile on Zero as yet. Since [Beautiful Days], there has been talk on the grapevine that Zero is non-existent but a digitalized voice. There is another version that Zero is a singer who only releases his music on the Internet.

The site editor dug for further clues and realised that Zero probably does exist:

-Zero is one of the lyricist for his song - 'Goodbye'.

-Zero is the lyricist for two songs - 'But Beautiful' and 'In Love with the Same Fool' (translated) in Chae Jung Ahn's 3rd album [Magic] released in 2001. 'But Beautiful' is a duet performed by Chae Jung Ahn and Zero.

-Zero is the lyricist for three songs - 'Heartburn' (translated), "Ka" and 'Last Tears' on the debut album of Korean pop group [Fever]. This album was released in 2002. He is also listed as a chorus singer for this album.


Has Zero release a music album?
Zero's debut album was released in 2001. The 2-CDs album is titled [Out Into The World].
