117 – Comeback (1)
Monday, February 27th.
Noisy PC room with various game sound effects and keyboard typing sounds.
Junho, a college student, took his hand off the mouse.
“Hey, aren’t you going to do this anymore?”
In the midst of a long-awaited winning streak, Junho put down the mouse and his friend said incredulously.
This is because I am usually the type of person who, once I start, runs to the end.
“No, let me do something. Let’s just get some sleep.”
My friend looked at Junho’s monitor.
Saven’s official YouTube channel accessed by Junho.
“Seven? Why are they here?”
“I heard a song is coming out soon. I was kind of excited to see if the last song was good.”
Junho seemed indifferent, but he was actually a male student who was so interested in girl groups that he looked up their schedules and videos in detail.
‘It was 6 o’clock.’
Currently 5:51 p.M.
In 9 minutes, the music video for Saven’s comeback song will be released.
“The song was good, but they were #1 on the charts.”
Even my friend who was less interested in girl groups than Junho knew about famous groups.
Because I’m a college student in my 20s.
“And… Is that Dohee?”
“Oh, that’s right, Lee Do-hee.”
“Her and Eunsera. They’re both really f*cking pretty.”
Junho shrugged his shoulders for no reason.
But he spoke calmly.
“It’s a shame. Because they’re two of the current girl group’s appearance tier 0.”
“Oh, do you have a tier chart?”
“It’s not like that, but they called the three prettiest girls together. Do Se-min.”

The future of K-pop is bright…
What are your tastes?

‘Dosemin’.
It is a noun that started from teenage reels like TikTok, and has now become a common word in the idol fan community, and is a word known to those who are interested in idols.
“Is Min Eun? 3M Minseo?”
“Oh, right.”
“Well, she’s really pretty, too. But I like Kim Seo-yoon.”
The time passed quickly while chatting like that.
At 6 o’clock sharp, I pressed the F5 refresh key and the video list was updated. And the music video that was uploaded.
[SAVEN Official MV ‘UnSatisfied’]
Junho forgot to hide his bluntness and clicked without hesitation.
“Oh… It’s pretty…”
Of course, while there are people like Junho who watch the music video somewhat bluntly, there are also fans who watch it passionately.
“What the f*ck should I do? It’s so f*cking pretty. What is it? Dohee’s underwater scene? Argh!!! I’m dying!!!”
The music video’s visual beauty and the members, especially Dohee’s home horse, are busy writhing around intoxicated by Dohee’s beauty.
She was so dizzy that she couldn’t even tell what she saw, so she came to her senses and played her music video again to concentrate on listening to her song.
“hehehe… I’m going to enjoy it properly this time.”
When the video was played, an accompaniment composed of several sessions played.
“Wow… How good is Shock Entertainment at their job?”
And Homma immediately exclaimed in admiration.
“The bass is so good?”
This is a synth sound that modulates the bass session with a synth sound and processes the ending note into a chorus, just as the ending note of a saxophone rises automatically regardless of intention.
“What’s different? Is it because I like the melody?”
Dohee heard this bass note and thought it was attractive.
I immediately figured out the reason as ‘the ending note went up slightly’.
It was difficult for others to distinguish them because they were buried in multiple sessions and melodies.
In the first place, the ending note was so subtle that it was difficult to discern even in the ‘Inst’ version.
“But… It’s really really good…? This song is definitely a hit.”
Nevertheless, those minor differences permeated throughout the music and made what could have been a boring and simple session very sophisticated.
“This… If I’m really good at it, I could aim for the annual chart…?”
And underneath the attractive bass sound.
4/4 Beats, the snare sound and the drum sound were repeated as if they were alternating.
This is the disco-based funky rhythm and drum pattern of black music.

Homma, who was captivated by the composition of the sound even after only hearing the short intro verse, did not forget his original purpose and focused on the music video again when the voices of Sarah and Harang were heard alternately.
-My eyes are turning red
-You spread in my heart like poison
There were Harang and Sarah lying against a tree.
The two were peaceful, biting into an apple under the sunlight.
On the other hand, the outfit was worn in a distressed style top and bottoms that were torn and worn out.
So, the clothes with rough texture made me feel more free than peaceful.
-The transparent thirst cannot be satisfied
-The sweetness that I keep coming back for
Cut to the voices of Seoyoon and Chaerin, this time Seoyoon and Chaerin are shown running as fast as they can across the vast grassland.
Similarly, both were wearing vintage style clothes.
Let the camera follow Seoyoon’s gaze as she runs.
With a refreshing synth sound reminiscent of show time, the screen moved to a square of white and black checkered tiles.
And the members dancing on the tile.
-The daze remains, unsatisfied
-My red, swollen heart scatters the air
The members were all wearing wide denim pants, colorful T-shirts, and bolero overfit cardigans from the women’s line, clothes that reinterpreted the sensibility of the 2000s and expressed it in a sophisticated way.
More than anything, it matched perfectly with the spring that was soon to come along with the spring cold.
“The coordination is really great…”
-The daze remains, unsatisfied
-I can’t deny it, the wound is getting deeper.
And sophisticated choreography that reflects Y2K-style disco dance.
A gracefully smooth dance line with large movements and a few thrusting points, but with a push rather than sharp thrust.
“This… I really felt it…!”
Above all, refreshing vocals and a powerful voice.
The more I looked, the more I listened, the more confidence I felt.
“Definitely within the top 3 of the annual chart…!”
5 Years of home horse experience.
15 Years of experience as a teacher.
It was a sense of Kpop stagnant water.

A few days after the release of the music video and sound source.
A broadcasting station arrived to carry out a full-fledged music broadcast schedule.
After the pre-recording, everyone was busy taking a nap as they came down from the stage after finishing the stage and feeling tired.
However, I still can’t sleep because my heart is racing due to the tension and excitement on stage.
‘Am I the only one who always finds the stage new…?’
Anyway, it was a busy time from now until the actual broadcast.
To make up for the extra time, I was browsing YouTube and found a review of our music video.

‘I don’t know what it means…’
Still, I’m bored so I’ll have to watch it.
[Hello~ Subscribers. Music Video Interpretation Rekka Rekbungi is going to analyze Saven’s music video today.]
A low-pitched male narration voice was played under our group photo.
[Saven’s title song ‘Unsatisfied’, which warmed my heart in this cold weather, was released yesterday. Now, two days after its release, the title song ‘UnSatisfied’ took first place, and the included songs have also successfully entered the charts, raising expectations about what kind of achievements they will achieve in the future.]
‘This time, we quickly reached #1 on the Watermelon chart. The entry ranking was also 2nd.’
[I am looking forward to Saven’s future in K-pop, as a group that just debuted has already swept first place. Anyway, my heart is shaking and I can’t stand it. Argh! You’re the best, Saben!!!]
“Wow, I was surprised.”
Sera, who had been sleeping on my shoulder, probably woke up to the sound heard in the video, and slightly opened her eyes.
And she spoke softly.
“Dohee, what are you looking at…?”
“Music video interpretation.”
Sera leaned on my shoulder again as if she wasn’t interested.
“Then why don’t you sleep a little longer…”
She lifted her shoulder and struck Sera’s head to the side with a rebound.
“Sleep alone. My shoulder hurts.”
“Hmph…”
There is nothing wrong with looking at me like that.
[Now let’s start analyzing the MV. First of all, everyone knows that ‘Unsatisfied’ is full of refreshing lyrics about girls who are thirsty for love. First, let me give you a spoiler: I didn’t even have the energy to feel thirsty for the members and the refreshing melody.]
[Let’s follow the content of the music video and interpret what we see. First, the first intro begins with Serah and Harang leaning against a tree. At first glance, it feels like a peaceful and free atmosphere. But I’m eating apples! That is, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I realized the taboo. But aren’t they both really pretty?]
“Hmm… I think it’s too obvious.”
.
.

[Checkered square. As you can see at the end of the music video, it was a chessboard in the aerial shot. In other words, the members seemed free, but they were like chess pieces. In other words, the members look good in checkered patterns.]
‘…What is this guy?’

[At the end, Dohee’s underwater scene appears… aaah!!!! How pretty is this!?! This was the interpretation of the music video, Rekka Rekbung!]
A YouTuber who only repeats that she is pretty from beginning to end.
“…Was it really Rekka…? For some reason, the number of views was low.”
Still, I left a comment.
It’s not because the voice was the loudest in the last underwater scene.
This is because the video is quite interesting.
– Have a good look! In particular, I completely agreed that Dohee was pretty! It’s really Sezel. In particular, we make eye contact in the underwater scene, and the gray lens eyes look very dreamy and the hair reflected in the light is very mysterious. ㄹㅇ I think it can be summarized with a three-dimensional example.
└ㅇㅈㅇㅈ!
Afterwards, I received comments and hearts from YouTubers in the comments.
It seems like the YouTuber also sympathized.
