Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 97
Only Noblemtl
| Episode 97. Event Promotion (2)
Although it is only the second comeback, there have been changes in the community.
At the time of debut, only a few people were seen using fixed nicknames, but this time, there were quite a few articles mentioning Spark.
≫ Is Seongbin the leader again?
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I see you’re feeling sadㅋㅋㅋ
└ Holy Spirit… …
└ Holy shit lol
≫ Spp I guess it’s a youth concept this time too
It’s strange, how can you be like this when you don’t have any youth on your face?
└ ㅋㅋㅋ There is no youth on your face
└ This is too much, teacher. Except for my oldest kids, all of them are high school boys.
└ It’s really good because it’s hard to find youth on stone plates these days
└ These days, most of the concepts are strong, so I feel tired, but I think this was a good idea
≫ Is Lee Cheong-Hyeon a genius?
Even though I only listened to it for a little while, the melody is amazing
└ The more I see Cheong-Hyeon, the more I admire himㅠㅠ He doesn’t have a long career in composing songs, but I think it’s really amazing that he always comes up with good songs
└ Isn’t it just that ㅇㅇㅇ is pushing it?
└ It’s ugly to be jealous of someone, my friend;;;;
≫ UA is working hard
It seems like they are good at controlling the comeback cycle so that the firepower doesn’t drop
└ If you don’t push in the beginning, when will you do it?ㅠㅠㅠ Right now is the time to push unconditionally
└ Seriously, if you work hard when you’re new, you’ll have a higher chance of survivingㅠ If you still can’t make it after a year, it’ll be really hard to recover
Perhaps because the bulletin board had not yet been updated, there were mostly only good posts.
At times like this, it was nice to be obsessed with unknown stones.
‘Keep this form going… … No, become famous… … Let me taste the sweetness of success… … But don’t become too famous… … .’
Baek Hae-won turned off his phone with a double-edged thought.
As I read more related articles, I felt like my heart was going to burst.
‘I hope the music video comes out soon.’
Like a child making a wish on Christmas Eve, Baek Hae-won prayed earnestly.
And soon after, the music video was released as a gift.
* * *
As the video began, Jeong Seong-bin, wearing a gray hoodie, walked toward us with the sound of birds in the distance in the background.
Jeong Seong-bin passed the deserted school and climbed the mountain behind it, stopping in front of a tree.
Then he rolled aside the large rock that was weighing down the tree roots, opened the backpack he was carrying, took out a trowel, and began to dig the damp ground.
After hearing the sound of dirt being dug a few times.
Jeong Seong-bin’s movements stopped with the sound of something catching on the tip of the shovel.
The angle changed to reveal Jeong Seong-bin’s hand shaking off the dirt and the empty sky.
The camera was pulled up from the ground along with Jeong Seong-bin’s hand movements as he took something out.
Jeong Seong-bin tapped the cookie jar he dug up from the ground to shake off the dirt and opened the lid.
The title was announced with the sound of a stainless steel can opening, and the song began.
『Wake up without an alarm
Just seeing the morning sun makes me feel good
Such a day』
As verse 1 begins, the screen switches to the whiteboard scene from the teaser.
Jeong Seong-bin writes in large letters, “The most exciting play project in the world!” and attaches old colored paper taken out of a time capsule, and next to it, he attaches a large printed flyer for an amusement park.
“That’s right, the day we promised!”
As soon as Jeong Seong-bin looked straight ahead, Jeong Seong-bin’s part started to flow out, and soon after, the members’ group dance scene appeared.
The hair colors of the members dancing in front of the carousel were dazzling.
Among them, Jeong Seong-bin’s bright yellow blonde hair and Park Joo-woo’s light pink hair stand out.
『To play properly
You have to prepare properly
Turned off cell phone
Sunglasses in a small wallet
Did you get everything?
Are you ready to have fun?』
Kang Ki-yeon sneaks an expensive-looking camera into her bag from a glass case in the living room of an old-fashioned house, and Lee Cheong-hyeon opens a piggy bank.
Choi Je-ho, who is laying out several sets of clothes on the bed one by one, and Kim Yi-wol, who is filling his bag with drinks, pass by one after another.
The drama ends with Park Joo-woo trying out several animal headbands one by one in front of a mirror, and the scene switches back to the group dance scene of the chorus.
“Playing is the best
In a place with a nice view
Eat delicious food without any worries
Just do what you want to do
I want to live every day like a vacation.
Soap bubbles pour down behind the members who are smiling brightly.
As we enter the second verse, the members enjoy themselves at the amusement park.
『A gift that good children desire
The best vacation for cool adults
Yeah, that’s right
Time spent with you too!』
Kang Ki-yeon is shown taking pictures of members and friends riding various rides, while Jeong Seong-bin is shown holding six helium balloons and tying them to his friends’ wrists.
Soon the screen becomes filled with photos of the members wearing ridiculous sunglasses and eating food sold at amusement parks.
After the happy hour, the members leave the amusement park, leaving the parade behind.
While the flow of the melody is becoming more organized and gradually building towards the chorus.
Five members, including Jeong Seong-bin, Choi Je-ho, Kim Yi-wol, Lee Cheong-hyeon, and Kang Ki-yeon, visit a small hospital in a remote area.
In the hospital room they went to, Park Joo-woo was lying with his eyes closed.
“It’s a dreamlike wind
But at least once
Having a nice chat
With a happy smile
I want to live every day like a movie.
Jeong Seong-bin puts an amusement park admission bracelet on Park Joo-woo’s wrist and puts the headband that Park Joo-woo had brought on Park Joo-woo’s head while Kim I-wol is lying down.
While Lee Cheong-hyeon ties a helium balloon to the foot of the bed, Choi Je-ho writes on the balloon, “One wish for Park Joo-woo has come true!”
And, Kang Ki-yeon shows an album with a photo of Park Joo-woo taken at an amusement park in front of Park Joo-woo’s face.
Park Joo-woo’s face, with his eyes closed, appears naturally in the photo, as if he had intentionally closed his eyes when taking the photo.
The members, who had dressed up Park Joo-woo in a playful manner, sat around his bed and chatted happily for a while.
“Right now, right at this moment!”
With the final chorus, the focus gradually shifts away from the hospital, soon revealing a blue sky.
『With List』
The title appears again on the brightened screen.
The video ends with a large circle appearing above the title.
* * *
The community has been on fire ever since the music video was released.
≫ From today, the symbol of youth is spark
That’s how it happened
└ A perfect narrative in one music video… …
└ If you look closely, it’s a really sad story, but it was good that it was kept on a bright note until the end.
└ That’s right, it’s not melodrama, but it’s a really good feeling that I believe my friend will wake upㅠㅠ
≫ I’m sorry for asking you to repeat the concept when it’s been so long since you debuted
Keep me young for life
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋLook at the change in stance
≫ The title is With you + Wish list, so it’s With List?
Ha tlqkf
└ Seeking someone to grant Park Joo-woo’s wish (1/1)
≫ Summary of the contents/hints of this Spark music video (continued additions to come)
1. The place that Jeong Seong-bin visited was the elementary school that the kids used to go to + The item that Jeong Seong-bin took out was a time capsule buried together during their school days.
2. In the meeting scene, only Park Joo-woo is not captured on screen.
3. When you look at the scene where the kids are packing their school supplies, they are all wearing high school uniforms or holding high school student IDs, but only Joo-woo has “中” written on his uniform.
4. Among the phones of the kids checking texts to gather at the amusement park, only Park Joo-woo’s phone is a 2G phone (it seems like he had an accident before smartphones became widespread)
5. The kids all wear the headbands that Joo-woo brought = Joo-woo wanted to go to the amusement park with everyone when he opened the time capsule, so he prepared in advance, and later, for some reason, the kids found out about the existence of the headbands and took them to the amusement park.
6. In the music video and album photos, there is no free admission bracelet on Park Joo Woo’s wrist.
7. Joo-woo’s photos are all with his eyes closed → Personally, this was the creepiest, but Joo-woo’s hair length and the kids’ positions are slightly different (not all of the photos were taken at once). It seems like the kids who took selfies with Joo-woo every time they visited the hospital took photos at an amusement park and then photoshopped them all together.
└ If you look at the time capsule at around 32 seconds, it says ‘Open for 20 rice’… … It’s so sad and pitiful that I opened the time capsule I made when I was a kid and didn’t even know how to spell it when I was a high school student about to turn 20 to wake up my friend.
└ Oh, so that’s what it was? (brow furrowed)
└ XX Juuya… …
≫ Hey, has anyone heard this new song?
I think the song is really good
I wonder if it will be liveㅋㅋㅋ The listener will be excited
└ Mr. Park Joo-woo, didn’t you actually collapse while recording?
└ This is it
└ The comment aboveㅋㅋㅋ This is it, it’s like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The response was good. Moreover, the reviews were generally favorable.
Just looking at SNS right now, there are noticeably many recent posts related to Spark.
Since about half of the music video was filmed at an amusement park, the captured footage turned out quite pretty.
Whether it’s the colors or the composition, everything came out well without any flaws. Maybe it’s because their hair was dyed in pastel tones, but even the members looked like they were part of an amusement park.
Above all… … .
≫ The sense of season is so good
The more I listen to it, the more I want to just throw it all away and play aroundㅋㅋㅋ
└ That’s why it fits perfectly with May~early summerㅋㅋ The song is also fun
└ This is a bit of an escape song for students who are about to have their midterm exams.
… … The release date and the song’s mood all matched perfectly as planned.
Thanks to this, it received a great response from students who were in the middle of an exam period and office workers who were looking forward to Children’s Day even though they were not children.
Groups with little recognition like Spark had to row hard when the water came in. And that was with their arms out.
This means that you have to constantly provide content so that the group can appeal to people without them leaving when they see the music video and think, “Huh? These guys are pretty good?”
Normally, music videos and songs are released at 6 PM. Even if they were to perform on the earliest music show the next day, it would still take too much time.
‘It’s about time for the marketing team to upload a video.’
I checked the time displayed at the bottom of my laptop.
6:05. People who had played the music video at 6 o’clock were slowly finishing watching it.
And at this time, as requested in advance, a noisy farming con was uploaded to the Spark official channel.
* * *
Baek Hae-won felt like he was going crazy.
It was partly because his midterm exam scores were a total failure… but the barrage of new information shook Baek Hae-won’s heart.
Baek Hae-won, who had been replaying the 5-minute music video over and over again, thought it would be better to stream the music video while watching it, so he streamed the music video and was watching it for 50 minutes.
‘The kids’ faces are awesome… … . Their songs are awesome too… … . But their faces are seriously awesome… … .’
Tears flowed from my heart. The aftertaste of the ending did not go away.
When was the last time you felt the pride and elation of being a fan of geniuses?
Baek Hae-won realized that happiness was not far away.
Baek Hae-won took a deep breath, trying to calm down his affection that bordered on madness.
And he began to carefully select his expressions so that as many people as possible could accept his ideas without feeling any resistance.
He would die without any regrets if even just one of his many acquaintances shared his passion for Spark.
With a heavy heart, Baek Hae-won returned to SNS, where he had briefly left to watch the music video.
A new article that he had not read before greeted Baek Hae-won.
≫ @spArk_official
An exciting play project for adults!
Let’s go on a mountain experience together!
Adult with a wish: Kim I-wol
Special feature: Adults with a taste for the old
[Spark] 2X05XX Let’s go to the mountains, city friends ep.1
In the attached thumbnail, six members wearing colorful floral pants are lined up and looking at the camera.
‘If it’s ep.1, you’re saying you’ll give me part 2 too?’
If this keeps up, and each side gets 10 minutes, these guys should be reported for making angry high school students angry.
Baek Hae-won, determined, clicked on the video link.
Then, a large-scale episode lasting a full 53 minutes greeted Baek Hae-won.
