132 – Eve
The office worker seemed like he might be mentally ill.
Today, it wasn’t because of Manager Kim.
“You bastards, we should put them in the shredder together with Manager Kim. Ah…”
This is because reporters were writing aggressive articles thoughtlessly.
[From Saben’s comeback to Coral Blue… A big clash of girl groups in the second half of the year is announced]
[Early summer music industry, battle for the throne between 3rd and 4th generation representative girl groups]
[The clash of two music powerhouses: “Who is this year’s summer queen?” …Summer girl group competition begins]
[This time, Saven Dohee surpasses coral blue Lira… Girl group’s personal brand reputation]
Saven comeback on Monday, June 26th.
Coral Blue’s comeback one week later on Monday, July 3rd.
The article comparing the two girl groups was enough to elicit a fierce reaction.
Of course, it’s mainly towards Saven that he gets criticized.
-Great clash? hahahaha, coral blue would be overwhelming anyway.
-The group is going to disband next year anyway, but they keep putting it together. Even if they don’t disband, there are kids who will never be able to keep up with Cobble for the rest of their lives.
-I wish the mayfly b*tches could take a picture of a billboard and rub it hahahaha
-I really don’t understand Haru Enter. Why did you send your Majesty and him to Saben? Just quietly debut in Cobble’s junior group.
This is because the size of Coral Blue’s fandom was overwhelming.
-It is true that we cannot deny that the representative of the 3rd generation is Coral Blue, but why is the representative of the 4th generation called Save?
-Saven is being criticized for doing this hahahaha. That fandom is making a fuss.
More than anything, fans of 4th generation girl groups such as ‘3M’, ‘Pure Girl’, ‘Navya’, and ‘Catch One’, who were losing out to Saven, also seemed to be jumping on the bandwagon.
“Because our schedules overlap…”
The office worker sighed after checking the aggressive posts posted on the Kpop community.
It seemed like it would be a tiring period of activity for both the fans and the members.
“It’s all because of Shock Entertainment. They’ll give the kids a break. They’re crazy about money.”
However, the office worker who shook his butt in joy when he saw the music video was an unavoidable fan.
[SAVEN ‘Melody’ Official M/V]
“Wow, it’s already pretty.”
Thumbnail.
As seen in the teaser, the members are wearing urban and sophisticated outfits, an alluring concept shot.
There was definitely one advantage of the project group.
As the narrative and image were drawn through survival, there were no restrictions on the song concept.
But I couldn’t avoid worrying if I didn’t want to worry about it.
This is because the outfit in the thumbnail seemed to have a s*xy concept.
Because there were only 4 minors, it was perfect for commercializing s*x and causing a backlash.
“Besides, Dohee is 16 years old.”
I thought that Shock Entertainment, which I thought was good at picking songs and concepts even if they couldn’t do everything else, had lost their sensitivity.
First, I clicked on the music video and watched it.
“Still, you’ll find out in the end. Huh.”
The music video started in the square in front of an Ionic Greek-style building.
Members standing in choreography formation.
Not the outfit in the thumbnail, but an innocent and pretty outfit.
‘Ah, that’s why it’s a concept photo.’
I realized that the outfit in the concept photo was here.
Intro.
A dreamy synth sound, like beads flowing, calmly descended along the musical scale.
And as the scale drops, one or two bass notes are added.
It was the disco retro beat heard in the teaser.
Bongpien is not strong but has a sophisticated feel.
‘Definitely Zy’s composer is capable.’
Meanwhile, the members who were looking straight ahead and making meaningful expressions finally moved.
As the bass notes were added one by one, the members stretched out their hands one by one towards the center, towards Dohee, who was again in charge of the center.
Now a flower-shaped hand fills the screen.
-Dnn↘Dnn↘Dnn↘Dnn↘
For a moment, the bass sound dropped as if climbing stairs, and the members lowered their hands again.
When the members’ hands finally disappeared from the screen.
The background changed to an old-fashioned street in London.
Dohee, who was standing at the center of the flower, was walking out, provocatively sweeping her hand along the wall of the street.
「Ay, I can’t fill it up at all
I want you to write down your feelings.”
Moreover, the costume from the concept photo we saw just now.
The innocent white shirt and black corset belt are gone.
Wearing a red knit dress that highlights her romantic charm.
「Ad lib lib lib I am just beat. (Lips lips)
The office worker felt an explosion of exclamation points in his head and let out an internal sigh.
‘Really…! Does it make sense that she gets prettier every time I see her…!’
「I can clearly see where you are
But I’m still scared, I’m afraid it’s something else
Probably a bit indecisive”
But there was no time to let out an exclamation.
This time, Hana has black hair and her eyes are covered with a white cloth.
Blonde Yeeun, who thought chic couldn’t exist.
Surrounded by paintings, they are captured in contrast, facing each other as if looking in a mirror.
“……!”
This time too, the office worker almost let out a sigh due to the continuous bombardment of picture-like visuals.
I bravely swallowed it.
Now, it’s because I didn’t want to miss the build-up of this melody.
‘Build-up…? Now that I think about it, it seems like the instrument composition changes little by little for each part of the song?’
I thought I would check again later and focused on the video again.
「I pretended to notice」
This time there were three members.
Sarah. Chaerin. Harang.
「In the end, the answer lies within you」
The three were walking down the hallway of an old-fashioned mansion, with sunlight barely coming through the windows.
However, the three’s sophisticated outfits in red and black made the dark and dignified background trendy.
「Raise your hand and write it down」
When the three people who were finally walking out stopped in front of the door and pushed it.
Seoyoon, with pink hair and lip piercings, emphasized s*xiness rather than cuteness, standing alone.
She then lowered her hands into a T shape.
Instant drop.
The strong build-up melody and beat are gone.
A refrain line that is emphasized in an understated yet attractive way.
「Thats in my score um─」
Seoyun moved her finger lightly and placed it on her lip piercing.
In the end, the office worker gave up on swallowing his exclamation.
“Mr. Real…”
I decided to just watch it again from the beginning.
‘I think I’ll see it 100 times today anyway.’
And everyone seemed to think the same thing.
This was revealed in the updated real-time response.
-Dododododododora, you guys
-What kind of visual punch is it?
-3 Hit angle ahhh
I could tell even without looking at the stage that the choreography was mixed.
From noble mtl dot com
This doesn’t feel excessive like a s*xy concept.
Continuing the refreshing concept of the 2nd album, it is even more suitable for summer.
‘Fascinating refreshing taste.’
They released a crazy title that was refreshing, innocent, and s*xy all at once.
***
Today, the front of the LE Center in Sangam-dong was crowded.
180 Fans who won through fierce competition to participate in the pre-recording of the Mpulse public broadcast.
The atmosphere on site is as cheerful as a cool early summer morning.
People who exchange goods, people who cram in a cheering method that was posted recently, and people who build friendships.
Everyone looked filled with anticipation and excitement.
And today, some home horses won the competition thanks to their know-how.
The home horses got to know each other and became friends.
“Oh, are you here?”
A man greeting a woman walking from afar.
He looked quite obnoxious to think that he was someone who followed celebrities around every day.
“Yes, when did your brother come back?”
“Me? 1 O’clock.”
“1 A.M.?”
“Uh, I just stayed up all night in the PC room. Doing some editing work.”
“I heard that we will have a mini fan meeting following the pre-recording. Is that okay?”
“A, of course. That’s why I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited. Did you know that my heart was pounding as if I had been drinking because I suddenly saw an announcement about my fan yesterday?”
The woman laughed and said at the man’s exaggerated reaction.
“That’s right. The other people said their stomachs were really hurting.”
“I guess so. What about Jihyun? I heard she was rejected? Doesn’t she just come back even if she was rejected?”
The man remembered Jdeokdeok, a woman he became close to while following the members of Saven.
The woman seemed to know something.
“What is it? Tell me.”
“Ah… There’s season 4 of that idiot, right?”
“Ah, male version? Of course I know. Why is that?”
“We had a production presentation on Monday.”
“Yes. But why is that?”
“Ji-hyun said she went to take pictures just to make money, and the contestant there said she was her ideal type and said she would sell it for a while…”
“Huh? Suddenly?”
“It didn’t happen all of a sudden, you know. He was originally a shy person.”
“Oh, I see. Well, the kids who sell themselves as men’s idols eventually go back to being men’s idols.”
“That’s why. The pretty triplets are the best.”
“Hey, I lost a friend to eat with.”
When the two of you are feeling regretful.
“Oh, it’s Manager Dahong!”
Saven manager Dahong approached the fans.
“Manager, you look pretty today too!”
Manager Joo Da-hong has gained recognition from fans by occasionally appearing on the members’ live shows.
“Yes, that’s it! Now, everyone, please gather around for work!”
Fans gathering one by one.
Once the group had formed to a certain extent, Joo Da-hong raised one hand and shouted loudly.
“Chavenue, everyone knows their numbers, right!? From now on, on the left side of me, numbers 1 to 60! In the middle, numbers 61 to 120! On the right side, numbers 121 to 180! The rest. “For those who will be on reserve, please move to the side for a moment!”
According to Joo Da-hong’s instructions, the two of them also talked and moved.
“But you definitely feel it these days, right?”
“What. Are you getting criticized?”
Of course, there were a lot of people who welcomed me and said I was a cute rookie.
These days, things have gone crazy with checks on the community.
“Yes, that is.”
He was liberated because fighting among fandoms was not something that happened in a day or two.
Rather, I felt happy about this situation.
“Originally, superstars drive people crazy.”
Because it means that they are gaining momentum.
“Now, let’s check the number of people! Please show your ID in advance and take out the album and music purchase details!”
The man recalled the idol version of the past.
After Coral Blue won the Rookie of the Year Award when he was a rookie.
Starting with their second comeback, they continued to break all-time girl group records.
And we were endlessly compared.
Especially with the project girl group from , Which was incredibly popular at the time.
Coincidentally, this time it was also the Default 3 Project Group and Cobble.
“Identification card and album and music purchase details!”
Manager Joo Da-hong is approaching the man and holding out his hand.
“Ah, yes.”
The man tried to rummage through the bag hanging over his shoulder as usual.
“Huh…? Did you leave it in the PC room?”
The man who was acting calm in front of the woman quickly took out his cell phone and showed his homepage.
“Manager, I’m at home! You know me, right? You know!”
I was almost crying.
“Yes, I know. It’s a home game, but I can’t help it. It’s a rule. I’ll wait for you until we check everything 180 times, so run around. If you’re late, you’ll be transferred to the reserve.”
‘The PC room is… Very far from here…’
The second half of Saben’s activities began with a man’s tears.
