Damn Idol - Chapter 138

Fucking Idol Episode 138
* * *
-What? In the end, there was only one teaser and the rest were individual fancams of each member, right?
-ㅋㅋㅋ Fancams of each memberㅋㅋㅋ
-Is it convincing? LOL
-I couldn’t appear on a music show, so I consoled myself by doing this for the lack of fan cams. TT
-You can’t do a music show for 3 months and 100 days?
-No haha! The first music show is this Wednesday!
-Somebody tell me about these guys!!! Please!!!!
-How can I wait until midnight tomorrowㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I already want to watch the music videoㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-I’m really looking forward to the music video.
-If things go well for 3 months and 100 days, won’t other agencies come to their senses? Because they’ve proven that idols can do it on their own.
-They pass by and laugh ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s not an idol doing it, it’s Han Si-on doing itㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅇㅈ Under the streetlight, Nakhwa, Seoul Town Funk, Fork in the road, Three Months and a Hundred Days, Dropout title, NOP title, Self-contained song Resume, Colorful Struggle. Including this pre-released song. There’s nothing wrong with it, lol
– Wow, looking at it like this, it really doesn’t make sense. Is this possible?
-How will the album come out? EP? Full-length?
-It must be EP.
-I want to see the music videoㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Let’s decide to cry in TT when we cry in the next 3 months and 100 days content.
-TTTTTTTTTTTT
The YouTube comments on the teaser for 3 Months and 100 Days were overwhelmingly positive.
In particular, those who had never consumed idol-related content before were left bewildered.
I was confused as to whether this was originally this good or if Sedalbaekil was particularly good.
The visuals were outstanding and the story was interesting.
However, some people have argued whether Sedalbaekil really has no company.
Independent musicians also sometimes make great music videos with great ideas and visual beauty.
But the smell of money lingers in the air.
That’s too much.
-How can you do something like this when you don’t even have a company?? Considering the quality of the teaser, I’m guessing hundreds of millions were spent on the music video??
-It seems like they secretly made a contract with someone and received the investment. They can settle the accounts later.
-What are you talking about? Are you ignoring Billboard and Color Show? The units for calculating music royalties are different in Korea and the US.
-What are you talking about? It’s been a few weeks since the chart was entered and the settlement is already done?
-I don’t know what kind of fantasy Billboard has, but you can’t make that much with just one song.
-No bullshit. Billboard is a place where one-hit wonders earn money to spend their whole lives playing around.
-That’s because it’s #1 on the Hot 100. Sedalbaekil is at the bottom of the minor charts.
-You’re fighting over something so useless lol. You must have earned it yourself.
It was an argument where you couldn’t know the facts unless you were involved, but in fact, it was a risk factor for three months and one day.
To be exact, it was the bowstring that Choi Max-ho was pulling on Se Dal-baek-il.
If a controversy breaks out, it will be a clue that Han Si-on is using his parents’ money as he pleases.
But Choi Max-ho has not yet let go of his bow, and the issue has not yet surfaced.
If the general public reacted this way, the idol-related community was a bit different.
-hehe
-Hahahahahahahaha
-Hahahaha
-Look at how confident Titi isㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– It’s worthy of being called that. It was surprising from the perspective of a nerd.
-But does it look like I’m the only one who’s just skimming through it?
-What are you talking about? If this is superficial, then what is the point of skimming?
-Did Han Si-on originally dance this well? I’m a little embarrassed.
-(Link) (Link) Please go and watch our desert fox Zion dance TTTT
-It looks more like a Slytherin than a desert fox, lol
-You’re going overboard with the teaser, lol. You never did something like this, did you?
-Huh? This is your first activity in Korea?
-The resume was something I made for fun at Jakon, and the colorful struggles were something I made while appearing in the content…
-Oh, I guess you were mistaken because both of them were #1 on the charts!
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
There has been a lot of talk about the K-pop-like musical direction of Sedalbaekil.
Colorful Struggles rearranged to K-pop, called K-Pop Struggles (a nickname given to differentiate them) and State Of Mind, whose teaser was released at midnight, were definitely familiar dishes.
A dish you always eat, made with the same ingredients.
But the taste is different.
There were many who said that it was over the top after only watching the teaser, but it wasn’t just the fandom of Sedalbaekil that reacted this way.
Surprisingly, the general public and neutral community users of Dolpan also had similar reactions.
Something is different.
The reason was simple.
Because what you have done over the past three months and a hundred days is so amazing.
Sedalbaekil had one record: every song they released reached number one on the charts.
Most of them were also number one on the weekly charts, except for which was slashed on stage during Coming Up Next.
Going further, every song composed by Han Si-on was number one on the charts.
In fact, from Han Shi-on’s point of view, it was nothing special.
From the beginning, when he composed the song, he composed it with the expectation that it would reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Or you could already release a song that made it to the Hot 100.
However, for those who did not know that Han Shion was a regressor, this was something they could not understand.
In the midst of these issues, time began to pass by little by little.
The teaser was released at midnight on Sunday, and the music video is scheduled to be released at midnight on Monday.
Although it was only 24 hours, countless stories came out.
Those who supported 3 Months 100 Days wanted the music video to be as good as the teaser, while those who wanted 3 Months 100 Days to fail wanted the teaser to be everything.
And finally.
It’s midnight on Monday.
A music video was released simultaneously with the song’s release.
* * *
Park Sang-woo, a music college student majoring in violin, entered the official channel of Sedalbaekil about 30 minutes after midnight.
I had been waiting for the music video since early evening, but I happened to see a drama that was so interesting that I forgot about it.
‘Well, it’s not like it wears out just because it’s late.’
With an extremely light-fan-like thought, he checked the music video that had been uploaded on the official channel of Sedalbaekil 30 minutes ago.
[Sedal Baekil – ‘State of mind’ Official MV]
The thumbnail was of five Sedalbaekil people standing under the moonlight.
Although there is no fire visible in the background, the location appears to be the empty lot in the teaser.
‘hmm.’
He is definitely handsome.
How would it feel if something like this happened?
With that thought in mind, I clicked on the music video.
If you think about it, it was kind of funny that I was watching the music video for Sedalbaekil.
It is certain that classical music majors generally like Se-dal-baek-il.
But that’s just liking music, not expecting any activity.
Men in particular had no interest in music videos or music shows.
I used to be like that too.
But because of my unrequited love, I somehow ended up joining the Sedalbaekil fan club, and now I have changed my mind.
I may not be as enthusiastic about supporting as the core fans, but I still want to enjoy the content.
If there’s a performance, I’d like to go.
Park Sang-woo thought about that and then focused on the music video.
The screen that had been dark started to brighten, indicating that it was about to start in earnest.
“huh?”
But the beginning of the music video was something I never expected.
‘Isn’t this a colorful struggle?’
It’s not even a remix version, which fans call K-pop Struggle.
The intro to the original Colorful Struggle from the Color Show plays.
Meanwhile, the three people on stage exchange nervous glances, and the people off the stage cheer.
It looked like a high school festival, but I couldn’t tell exactly.
Because I couldn’t see any symbols.
The song started.
Ion spits out the first verse as if screaming.
As I look around me!
(I looked around)
At that moment, with a “bang!” sound, the lights on the stage went out.
The members of Sedalbaekil were embarrassed, but Lee Ion was not embarrassed.
Satan wanna put me in a bowtie.
(Satan wants me to wear a bow tie)
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The lights go out one after another from the left.
At the same time, the pitch of the beat lowers, becoming slow and dull.
Support position.
A strange sound, like radio noise or the frequency noise of a wireless device, is inserted into the beat.
The unique Lo-Fi feel is complete.
This is the same process that you can see in the voting video that was held on the official website of Sedalbaekil.
Even the striped suit is the same, the outfit is the same.
But when the screen turned, the audience members who had clearly been under the stage had disappeared as if they had been washed away.
Ion, whose expression has completely changed, opens his mouth.
What you gonna do?
(What would you do?)
Lyrics that were originally included in Colorful Struggle.
But this time it’s significant.
At that moment.
With a “pop!” sound, all the lights went out.
The stage goes dark.
But from somewhere, a strange red light starts to flow out, making it possible to discern the shape of the stage.
In it.
[…did you rock it?]
Along with Ion’s voice, thumping drums and rough synth sounds explode out.
The dance begins with the beat changing into intense lo-fi chipmunk soul.
Under the peculiar red light, Sedalbaekil dances as if he has lost his mind.
The silhouette seen at first glance glows in red light, and the dance line shines in moonlight.
“Wow, sir.”
Park Sang-woo let out an exclamation without realizing it.
As the profession of dancers was formed, dancing became seen as something unfamiliar, but originally, dancing was instinctive.
Because dance has been an expression of instinct while praying to gods since ancient times.
In that sense, the dance of Sedalbaekil had the power to make one lose one’s mind and watch it.
That was when.
The air changes.
The range of the beat suddenly skyrockets, making the sound unintelligible.
A strange and sinister red light seems to boil the whole world as if it were a flame.
It looks like it will pass the boiling point and vaporize at any moment.
That was when.
The silver moonlight shining softly under the red light came down and illuminated Ion’s face.
Ion, who had been possessed by something, suddenly comes to his senses in surprise.
Then he shouts while looking at the members who are fading away as if they will disappear at any moment.
[Focus!]
Focus… … .
Focus… … . Focus… … .
Ion’s scream, filled with reverb, echoes like an echo.
When Ion raises his head, there are three moons in the sky.
[State of mind!!]
At the end of Ion’s scream, a light that was half-mixed with a strange red light and warm moonlight exploded.
When the screen darkens and brightens like that.
[… … .]
Han Si-on, who had fainted, opens his eyes.
A boy with ponytail who had been playing with a straw doll next to Han Shi-on suddenly gets up and goes outside.
Then, people wearing clothes similar to hanbok rush in and look down at Han Si-on.
The moment he raises his body.
??????????????????????????????
The music flows out as the beat flows out.
“Ugh… … .”
Park Sang-woo let out a sigh without realizing it.
As if I was watching the intro of a movie, a tremendous amount of content and symbols flashed before my eyes.
‘What did Ion say?’
Focus.
And State of mind.
I think it means to focus on your state of mind.
Meanwhile, the music video unfolds, with the members waking up in five different camps.
As someone’s teaser interpretation said, the faction they woke up in was independent and seemed to be hostile to the other factions.
“no…….”
But if you look at the content of the music video, it’s not just about being hostile.
When people from different factions see each other’s bare faces, they die.
Either they melt away or they become monsters that lose their reason.
The Jinyoung that Choi Jae-sung woke up with was among those who had become monsters.
So, whenever they hunted or moved in neutral territory, they had to wear pure white masks.
so.
[… … .]
[… … .]
It was natural that Han Si-on and Gu Tae-hwan, who passed by each other in the neutral zone, did not recognize each other.
So the five members adapted to their respective camps, but… … .
There have always been groups that threaten the peace.
Those who seek conflict cause a great fire, and the great exodus begins.
From here on out, it was predictable because I had seen the teaser.
The people of the five camps each ran away in their own direction, but the members of Sedalbaekil were different.
They wear masks and go somewhere where they can hear the song.
And then, they meet.
One by one, they take off their masks and dance under the light of three moons.
[La- La-]
[Focus on me]
The music pours out and the corps de ballet breathes fire.
Surprisingly, the chorus of this song had no individual parts.
Each member sings one word at a time, perfectly meshing together to form a chorus.
But I didn’t feel like I was being torn apart at all.
Rather, it captures the addictive chorus feel that is unique to K-pop.
The level is just enormous.
That moment when the chorus and dance end at the same time.
bang!
Moonlight pouring down… … .
[Wow!!]
Back to the intro.
To the moment when people below the stage cheer during the performance.
The members of Sedalbaekil were confused by the sudden change in situation, but it only lasted for a moment.
The music video ends with Han Si-on smiling and holding the stand microphone.
It was the end of a music video that would usher in an era of great interpretation.
