Damn Idol - Chapter 131

Fucking Idol Episode 131

Album 12. The First Day

When I arrived in Korea, it was 9 PM, but I had somewhere to go before the Sedalbaekil lodging.

Uncle Hyun-soo’s house.

Because today was my uncle’s birthday.

We talked on the phone often, but it had been a long time since we last saw each other in person.

Was that the last time you visited the hospital room with the members?

“Hey, Inma! I’m going to forget your face.”

“I’m sorry. How have you been?”

“I’m still a hospital ghost.”

“How did you fix the horizontal coordinate system?”

“what?”

Oh, that was before this meme became popular.

Human memory is truly strange.

Why can’t I remember the abbreviations that Choi Jae-seong teaches me while remembering these useless memes?

Then my uncle hugged me tightly.

“Hey, you’re doing well these days?”

“You’re working hard. Happy birthday.”

“Don’t say it’s your birthday. It makes you sound old.”

He smiled and handed his uncle the gifts he had bought in New York.

I knew exactly what my uncle liked, so I bought things that suited his tastes.

“But Zion.”

“yes?”

“Why do all the clothes look too small? Is it my imagination?”

“I bought it two sizes smaller on purpose. I told you to lose weight before wearing it.”

“Are you even encouraging me to go on a diet?”

“yes.”

This is advice from a true regressor.

If my uncle can wear this, he will be able to meet a really good marriage partner.

I heard the love story out of curiosity one day, and it was a bit absurd.

When my uncle loses weight, he gets a strange sense of confidence and is inspired to open his own practice.

So I went to a real estate agency and fell in love with the boss’s daughter at first sight.

What’s interesting about this is that, usually when you repeat regression, you start to witness randomness.

Like comedian Burnett Adele, who sometimes gets caught for drunk driving and sometimes not, even though he did nothing.

But my uncle is unyielding.

If I lose weight, I will definitely meet my aunt, and if I don’t lose weight, I will definitely not meet her.

I don’t know what the correlation is between dieting and opening a practice, and I don’t know why a guy who doesn’t have money to open a practice would go into real estate…

First of all, my aunt is a good person.

I hope we meet again in this life.

“Uncle, should I cancel my gym membership?”

“Mom, do I have no money? Or do I have no time?”

“If you lose weight, I’ll get you a celebrity’s autograph.”

“I don’t have a favorite celebrity?”

“Then just take it out.”

“This kid.”

While I was grumbling like that, the delivery food arrived.

After setting up the food, I lit the candles on the cake I bought.

So we started singing the happy birthday song and eating the food, and then my uncle opened his mouth.

“But Zion.”

“yes.”

“Is it true that you can get an autograph from a celebrity?”

“Why? Is there an autograph you’d like?”

“That’s not it. You have to meet a celebrity to get their autograph. You can’t go on a variety show or anything, right?”

“If you work hard, something will work out.”

“But you keep making a fuss over that? What’s next after the color show?”

I never told my uncle the details for fear of worrying him for nothing.

But it seemed like my uncle already knew everything.

Well, he’s a smart person.

According to my father, my uncle was too smart to be a top student.

Because studying is too easy, I just do it roughly.

However, he said that he was not a genius to the point of being the top student even though he was just a casual student, but he was a genius to the extent of being a genius.

This is a parable of the father.

“I have a plan.”

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“You should lose some weight.”

“hey!”

But there really isn’t anything that can help you.

If you need help, I’ll be back a little later.

Maybe about a month later.

“So if all goes well, what are you going to do? Maybe go on a world tour or something?”

“We can’t go on a world tour anymore.”

I’m just going to do activities like any other idol.

I go on music shows, do fan signing events, and even appear on reality shows.

Although we do have a Jakon, our Jakon has always been used only functionally.

Whether it’s creating a sensational issue or carrying out political maneuvering against Ryan Entertainment.

Of course, it is filled with plenty of popular fun, but looking at the official website, it seems that fans also wanted some small details.

I’m not talking about the context of a particular issue, but rather things that show the chemistry between the members.

I agree.

I need to experience that, and the members want to do that.

This is where our opinions agree.

“But your face is nice? Are you close with the members?”

“Yes. They are all good people.”

“If you have time next time, bring me. I’ll buy you something delicious.”

“If your uncle loses weight.”

“Oh my… … .”

“sincerely.”

There was talk within Ryan Entertainment of bringing forward the release schedule for Take Scene’s music video.

Of course, it was because of the three months and one hundred days.

I don’t know if the 3 months and 100 days were intentional or a coincidence, but wasn’t the teaser for the take scene completely buried in the color show teaser?

There’s no guarantee that something like that won’t happen just because it’s a music video.

So the idea was to twist the usual pattern of how Ryan Entertainment releases music videos.

But this was rejected by the maximum number of people.

The external reason is that there is already a set schedule, so we do not want to confuse the artists.

But the real reason was pride.

It’s ridiculous for Ryan Entertainment to run away for three months and a hundred days.

Since the 1980s when Korea’s show business industry began, artists have never won over capital.

No, it’s not just Korea.

Even the famous Beatles went independent because they felt bad about paying the commission they had to the agency, but they suffered badly and didn’t return to the arms of capital.

So running away makes no sense.

You will make a laughing stock in the industry.

This was Choi Ma-ho’s true intention.

Besides, maybe it’s just a coincidence.

It is highly likely that the idea that you can control the video release schedule of a huge company like Colors Media for three months and a hundred days is a delusion.

The schedule can no longer be changed.

The debut schedule, originally scheduled for the end of August, was moved up to July and then pushed back to August due to dropouts and NOPs.

So on August 26th.

The official music video for Take Scene has been released.

[TAKE# ‘Scene Stealer’ Official M/V]

Ryan Entertainment staff, including Choi Max-ho, were on edge about the Color Show channel.

But even after 30 minutes, no video was uploaded to the Color Show channel.

Last time, they came up in less than a minute interval.

‘Was it just a coincidence?’

But historically, ‘has it been done’ has been a magic spell.

A unique backdrop for a color show that spreads in rainbow colors.

Five boys, with their arms around each other’s shoulders, laughing brightly.

The team name is written as it is pronounced, not in English.

The video that was released had nothing that was not offensive.

To his surprise, Choi Max-ho realized that his hands were shaking.

“Fuck.”

He spit out a curse and calmed his trembling.

Then I moved the mouse and clicked on the image.

The song begins with Han Si-on’s electric guitar playing, and as each member joins, musical elements are added, until it finally explodes.

Colorful Struggle.

Maxho Choi, to his surprise, thought the music was good while watching the video.

Countless thoughts and negative emotions pass through my mind… … .

Nevertheless, the song is good.

There is absolutely no way to deny it.

There has been talk in the show business world recently that while color shows are great content, people have over-expected things.

It was because reporters sent out articles with overly provocative titles in order to sell advertising clicks.

It’s good to have a lot of buzz, but the direction of that buzz is too stimulating.

[Sedal Baekil, how much success do you need to have as the first Korean guest on the Color Show?]

[How many views did Japanese musicians who appeared on Color Show get?]

Something like this.

If Sedalbaekil had belonged to a large entertainment company, the public relations team would not have just let it go.

Originally, media marketing required proper handling.

But Sedalbaekil did not have a public relations team to handle the media, and the reporters wrote articles however they felt like, like a truck with broken brakes.

This is a bit dangerous.

When expectations are high, people tend to be disappointed even with ‘adequate performance’.

Because imagination is always more splendid than reality.

but…….

Sedalbaekil lived up to people’s expectations.

It wasn’t about the number of views or external achievements.

It was a story about music.

-Hey, are you crazy? LOL

-Wow, I’m sick of it. I’m not really interested in idols, but what are these guys? They’re so good at it?

-Do idols these days do this? I didn’t know because I’m not interested.

-No, they just do this kind of thing.

-You’re not even an idol in the first place, lol. Aren’t you just an indie band?

-But last time I saw it, Sedalbaekil thought they were idols. They said they wanted to become idols.

-Oh really? Yeah, yeah. Whatever it is, as long as you do your job well, that’s fine.

– It’s really great to see our country’s youth shining in such a world-class program. However, I am left with a feeling of regret that it would have been better if they had used proud Korean lyrics instead of English lyrics.

-Hey, old man;; Who sings in Korean at the color show?

-I’m obsessed with Han Si-on’s guitar playingㅠㅠ

-I really like the part where Lee Ion starts screaming. It feels like he’s clearing some blocked blood?

-Is this also a song made by Han Si-on?

-Yeah yeah yeah yeah

-Does this guy have a songwriting bag or something? Every song he puts out becomes a hit.

The views for the color show started going crazy.

The number of views for the 3-month-old 100-day Jakondo, which contained the challenge of a color show, also pumped up.

What’s interesting is that the number of views for the video uploaded on the official channel of the Color Show was similar to the number of views for the video uploaded on Sedalbaekil’s own channel.

This meant two things at once.

First of all, it created a lot of buzz domestically.

Secondly, it didn’t create much buzz overseas.

In fact, it was a natural thing.

From the perspective of overseas music fans, there was no reason to click on the thumbnail video with an unfamiliar name that they didn’t know how to read and Asian boys they had never seen before.

-Are these boys K-pop artists?

-Fuck. I went as far as the color show.

As of 2017, K-pop’s status was that of a subculture.

As time goes by, it will start to move out of the subculture and into the mainstream, but not yet.

As a result, there were quite a few people who left critical comments without even watching the video.

-No no. Friends, watch this video.

-Craaaaazzzzy! You’re crazy!

– It was totally awesome, from the song to the directing. It’s the best color show video I’ve ever seen.

-Can someone tell me where I can hear these guys’ hit songs?

-Why doesn’t this K-pop group dance? I really like their dancing.

-Because it’s perfect as a song.

-I can’t deny it.

The temperature difference between those who watched the video and those who didn’t was very stark.

But this was only for a moment.

-Wait a minute. Is this the guy who played with Donald McGrath? He looks exactly like him.

-What are you talking about?

-(Link) This is the video that turned Reddit and forums upside down.

-Oh my god. What is this?

-It’s an impromptu performance in Seaside Heights. It’s crazy.

Because Han Si-on and Donald McGus’ improvisational performance was creating a huge response in the foreign community.
