153 – First Main Producing (3)
[Seven’s 4th single album ‘Wee Hours’ sold 912,000 copies on the first day alone, ‘breaking its own record’, will it become a million seller?]
The sales volume on the first day alone caught up with the initial comeback of the previous comeback, but the response from fans was drier than expected.
It was expected that album sales would rise upward with each comeback.
The reaction to the chart entry status was also the same.
[Water Melon #1 rapidly rising search term]
[Music video ranked 1st in Ingeup-dong on YouTube]
[Box ranks 1st, Jenny enters 8th place]
[‘Extraordinaire’ entered 2nd place on Water Melon’s real-time chart]
ㅡReal-time ranking
ㅡ 1【Violet Hair Salon – Youth love】
▲ 2【SAVEN – Extravaganza】
▼ 3【Hong Joo-yong – Should we break up?】
For a top girl group like Saven, it was natural for them to reach #1 on the daily rankings even if their new song was bad.
However, this dryness did not mean that fans’ interest level decreased.
I just didn’t have enough time because I was focusing all my attention elsewhere.
And that was the community’s reaction to the new song.
The public’s first impression of the new song.
Of course, there are different likes and dislikes.
Because there are a lot of dislikes.
There was no chance of getting bad grades.
Due to the nature of girl group songs that repeat the same hook, they are highly addictive and popular, so if exposure continues, the song will eventually feel good through so-called ‘noising’.
However, the results based solely on the group’s popularity were bound to tarnish the group’s image, and the chart rankings were also bound to drop rapidly over time.
Moreover, this single is a self-produced album produced by Dohee and Chaerin.
The repercussions were bound to be bigger than usual, with the end of the year just around the corner. The public’s first impression of the song was the final event that would determine the direction of the awards ceremony.
That’s why fans started watching all kinds of sites and thoroughly checking all the reactions.
-Saven’s new song is too small ㅠㅠ
-Wow, the real Saben sings amazingly.
└This time it was made by Lee Do-hee and Gong Chae-rin.
└Huh, really?
└Yes, check out the hot bulletin board.
-I like the included song better, but they also made this one.
-How can this song be made by 16- and 19-year-olds?
-It feels like they’re sniping at Kpop fans…
-Wow, aren’t Dohee and Chaerin really geniuses?
Fortunately, the majority of people liked it not only on SNS but also in the Kpop community, and among them, Hwaryongjeom was a YouTube video by professional producers with quite a lot of subscribers.
＞ [SAVEN seen by two current producers – Reactions to extravaganza]
And all the fans clicked on the video.
When I played the video, what appeared was two men sitting wearing headsets.
[Rio: What’s up guys. Rio from Double G, a composition team active in Korea and the United States.]
[Noah: This is Double G’s Noah.]
After a brief introduction, the two started talking.
[Rio: Who is it this time?]
A group shot of the Saven members displayed on the screen.
[Noah: That’s right~ Our favorite Save! From what I heard, the members themselves produced this album, right?]
[Rio: Yes, considering that Dohee and Chaerin of Save are listed as priority composers and arrangers, it must be said that that is the case.]
[Noah: Let’s look at the song title first. Rhapsody.]
[Rio: Extravaganza. I didn’t know much about it, but I heard Rapsody means extravaganza in Korean. First of all, Rhapsody is a free-feeling instrumental song that is not restricted by a certain format.]
[Noah: That’s right. And is Dohee majoring in classical music? I don’t know if it’s correct to say I majored in it, but I feel like I came from a background as a piano player.]
[Rio: Your award history is brilliant.]
[Noah: Rio, didn’t you also graduate from a music school?]
[Rio: …First of all, Oh Hyun wrote the lyrics! Now, let’s get started. Let’s get it!]
A music video was played on the screen along with noise.
[Noah: It starts in the forest at dawn. The singing sound that comes from somewhere… Saven’s song unsatisfied.]
[Rio: Usually this feeling is a dream or fear.]
The two reacted appropriately and moved on.
And the song started in earnest with Yeeun facing the camera’s gaze as the trigger.
A pounding beat flowed.
[Rio: Is it brass? It definitely seems to bring out the feel of an instrumental song, right?]
[Noah: Yes, I think it’s brass… It’s like I’m hearing something for the first time.]
[Rio: I’ve heard something similar, but I think this is a new one. This isn’t an easy task. We have never made samples ourselves.]
[Noah: Actually, there is no need to make samples. There are so many different things.]
[Rio: Still, I used samples for the rest. This is also an old one that is a bit unusual. I think it was Chaerin who made this sophisticated and hip-hop.]
[Noah: Yes, from what I heard from Zy’s trainer, Chaerin’s specialty is hip-hop. He is also a sub-rapper for Saven.]
[Rio: First of all, it feels good. I’ll keep listening.]
The song finally started in earnest with the first verse.
[Noah: Wow, I like the intro. Mr. Harang’s clear voice catches my attention.]
[Rio: The choreography and movements are big hip-hop moves. My eyes are drawn to it.]
[Noah: Ah, really… Why do I feel good when I look at the Saven members like this?]
[Rio: hahahaha, me too.]
[Noah: I think everyone is really bright. Ah, this part is good.]
[Rio: But they all dance really well.]
[Noah: There is no hole. In fact, when Ye-eun participated in Jeju 3 Survival, there was a poor evaluation, but there is no such thing anymore.]
[Rio: That’s right. Look, all the members have a groove that uses not only their arms and legs but also their bodies…]
[Noah: You can tell how much the members practice just by looking at their facial expressions. In particular, Dohee makes facial expressions really well.]
[Rio: And the choreography is good and the atmosphere is good. I feel this every time I listen to a Saven song, but when Seoyoon appears, I feel a sense of stability in the vocals.]
[Noah: Right. She’s a vocalist with a different vibe from Sarah. Sarah bursts out laughing. That’s why I’m looking at a project girl group. The charm is attractive, but the talents are diverse.]
The two reviewed the song with natural reactions without pretense.
And before we knew it, we had reached the last refrain.
[Noah: Ah, this is it. I think I know how to proceed with the song.]
[Rio: That’s right. Hook 3 here is also really good.]
[Noah: Now I know, all of Saven’s songs have had an attractive bass sound, right?]
[Rio: Oh, by the way, the bass is missing this time?]
[Noah: Yes. Maybe that’s why I think Saven’s new charm is coming back to life. It is worth making your own.]
The song ended with Noah’s words.
In the music video, the members in the music video look at each other at the same time, their excited smiles disappearing and they suddenly turn their heads to stare at the camera with expressionless faces.
[Noah: Oh, is there something scary about the last one?]
[Rio: Still pretty.]
After the YouTube channel logo and noise passed, the two composers gave their closing thoughts.
[Rio: I’m sure everyone felt it, but I think the lyrics and the title capture the feeling of a going crazy atmosphere. The light of the extravaganza is crazy, isn’t it?]
[Noah: Yes, like a bipolar person, he would laugh and then look straight. I think it expresses that. It was very fun.]
[Rio: Actually, what I felt in the song was that the chords and melody themselves weren’t bright, right? But the progress feels lively. A free extravaganza without a set framework. It was a song that really had the same title.]
[Noah: So I think I made a modified brass sample myself. That really brings out the mood of the song…]
[Rio: Looking at it this way, Dohee and Chaerin clearly did a good job of producing. I was worried because I was still a rookie and young.]
[Noah: I admit it. A song like this would have been good to release in the summer, but with a horror feel.]
[Rio: Still, it was Halloween two weeks ago, so I think the timing is good. Now that I think about it, there aren’t many Savens like this left. It’s a shame, I was really wanting to see more of their work.]
[Rio: hahahaha, the fans are probably more enthusiastic than us. Well then, we’ll just say hello here. This is Double G’s Noah.]
[Rio: It was Double G’s Rio.]
And as screenshots of the video circulated everywhere, the response to the song became even hotter.
The fans’ reactions were also very hot.

[Definitely what experts catch is different]
I just saw the lyrics and the way the kids looked at each other in the music video, so I thought it was like a crazy song, but it was also in the progression of the song, the melody, the chords, the beat, etc.
-That’s why they created a new sample (I don’t know what they’re talking about)
└ Wow, awesome (I don’t know either)
└I’m tired anyway.
[But am I the only one who feels bad about the review?]
I was watching happily, but the composers beat me to the bone at the end, which made me feel bad…
I forgot for a moment that it would be disbanded soon.
-ㄹㅇ I clicked cancel subscription because of that.
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Is there any chance of them remaining on the same team?
└Seasons 1 and 2 eventually disbanded, but well… Monorush was the group that even received the grand prize.
└But don’t you make more money now?
└Most of the members are large, so it may not be meaningful.
[Let’s just laugh at Chaerin’s bubble that came up today]
＞ Genius Producer Gong Chae-rin: What is your nickname?
＞ Genius Producer Gong Chae-rin: Ah…
From noble mtl dot com
＞ Genius Producer Gong Chae-rin: I made a bet with that Do-hee.
＞ Genius Producer Gong Chae-rin: What time does Hana make you practice?
＞ Genius Producer Gong Chae-rin: I lost;;
For your information, Dohee Nick is still ‘Genius Producer Dohee’.
-What is this? It’s ridiculous.
-Ah, Rahee is a b*tch lol.
-Chaerin changed too hahahaha.
-LOL But I wonder how long Hana had to practice?

However, the fans who laughed while reading such posts continued to feel empty for some reason.
And the reason was immediately apparent.
[Now that I think about it, it looks like there will be no entertainment this time]
There were no public broadcasts, entertainment shows, or YouTube appearances that were common for every comeback this time.
Even one YouTube Wasn’t uploading any videos.
It was inevitable because we had to squeeze in our schedule to make a comeback in the first place.
But I couldn’t not post anything.
Because it wasn’t a digital single.
So, Saven decided to upload its own content that fans would like.
– Are you watching our genius producer Lee Do-hee and Gong Chae-rin?
