Damn Idol - Chapter 139

Fucking Idol Episode 139

* * *

It seems like our music video is getting quite a stir.

Even if it’s not necessarily an idol-related community, there were quite a few stories related to the State Of Mind music video.

In particular, there were many comments talking about the story in the music video in their own words.

The setting for this music video was planned together with all the members.

Among them, Choi Jae-seong’s influence was particularly strong.

Because I’m the member who thought the most deeply about our time travel concept.

However, I was the one who created the story with that setting and did the continuity work for the video direction.

Of course, I also have a knack for music videos.

How many music videos have I shot in my life, I would never have left it all to someone else?

I think it was after I took on the challenge of making an autobiographical film, perhaps inspired by Eminem’s , that I began to study filmmaking in earnest.

It’s not a study of taking pictures, but a study of directing.

So, what that meant was that our music videos were handpicked by me based on the opinions I received from the members.

-If it seems like it doesn’t mean anything and you’re just pretending to be cool, then I recommend it lol

-You just added elements that seem moderately present, lol. What kind of thesis are you writing? Just study with that passion, lol.

So, these kinds of comments on the Internet are all wrong.

I gave meaning to every single path and symbol.

It’s a shame that there are parts that we could have put more effort into if it weren’t for the tight music video filming schedule.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to come out and tell you what our music video means to you.

“Wow, the reaction video is already up.”

“Already? It’s only been an hour?”

“Yes. But the number of subscribers is really small, and they just reacted without editing.”

“But it still gets quite a few views?”

“I think it’s because it’s the first one. But it’s not fun and there are a lot of hate comments. I feel a little bad because it seems like they’re getting cursed at because of us.”

“therefore…….”

I laughed out loud while listening to the conversation between On Saemi and Choi Jae-seong.

Why should we feel sorry about that?

Anyway, I will probably open my mouth when people have enjoyed the interpretation enough.

It’s also frustrating to tell the answer to a quiz too quickly.

“Let’s all catch up. It’s almost two o’clock.”

“Brother Zion, we have a music show in two days, right?”

“Why is that?”

“So, wouldn’t it be okay to delay my sleeping time a bit? I’ll have to be active from the early morning that day.”

“Stop talking nonsense, okay?”

I snatched Choi Jae-seong’s cell phone while he was reading YouTube comments and talking nonsense.

No matter how good the content is, there can be no malicious comments.

I’m the type of person who is indifferent to malicious comments, but the members don’t like seeing too many of them.

“Yeah, Zion is right. Let’s all go in.”

Under the leadership of Ion Hyung, the members split up and went into their own rooms.

I use a private room, but the other members use two rooms each.

By the way, Koo Tae-hwan and Choi Jae-seong, who won the room assignment game, are sharing a four-person room.

Onsemiro and Iion are sharing a double room.

So the members went in, and I went into my room and sat on the bed.

It feels good to achieve what I wanted.

The music video was chosen well, we will be promoting on music shows, and the album will be released soon.

There seems to be quite a bit of talk about our album, as it is a full-length album with 13 tracks (14 tracks including hidden tracks) and you will faint when you see the names of the co-composers.

In fact, there were already people talking about the co-composer of State Of Mind.

-Hey, isn’t Lucid Bean the co-composer for this new song for Sedalbaekil?

-Who is that?

-ㅁㅊ Don’t you know Lucid Bean? He’s the overwhelming leader of contemporary punk. He’s won 8 Grammys. Two of those were main awards.

-You idiot who just got a sample. Don’t you even know how to clear a sample?

-They’re the same name. What sample clearing is this? It’d cost a lot of money to clear a sample of a song by someone as good as Lucid Beanㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That’s right. It’ll cost more than the music video.

Netizens will be shocked to learn that the Lucid Bean they’re talking about participated in our album and that it’s not even a sample clear, but an original composition.

Did you know that even Jankos Greenwood, Moscos, Eric Scott, Lutz Robbie, Mary Jones and Donald McGurth were involved?

Oh, you took out Eddie.

Even Chris Edwards.

Korea will be turned upside down.

So I should feel good, and actually I feel good.

but.

I think I’m going to have a nightmare today.

It’s always like that.

The moment I take my first proper step, I always get depressed.

The greater the joy and pleasure, the greater the sense of emptiness and loss.

Because I know all too well how I’m going to feel when all this goes down the drain.

Some might say that we only need to imagine the joy we will feel when we succeed… … .

It’s impossible.

Because I’ve never been successful before.

The end of countless hours, of which I don’t even know how many times, was always a failure.

How much closer did our steps today bring us to our goal of 200 million copies?

1cm? 2cm?

……shit.

This is no one’s fault.

It’s not the fault of Sedalbaekil who did his best, nor is it the fault of the time traveler who loves us.

It’s just my fault.

It’s because the whims are boiling with regressors.

“… … .”

I just shouldn’t sleep.

I should monitor the music charts.

* * *

As of 2017, most singers release their songs at midnight and place importance on real-time chart performances until 1 a.m.

From midnight to 1 a.m. is the time when the influence of the general public and idol fandoms on the charts is equal.

You can’t get first place just by capturing the public, and you can’t get first place just by capturing the fandom.

So, if you look closely at the data values ​​at that time, you can predict what kind of results this song will have in the future.

‘But it wasn’t a resume.’

As Han Si-on thought, when Sedalbaekil released the resume, this kind of analysis was not applicable.

There was no teaser, no music video, and no article.

Aside from self-produced content, there was no way to let the world know that Sedalbaekil’s song had been released.

The reason Resume was able to take first place at the time was because the fandoms of NOP and Drop Out, who were tired of streaming for three weeks, clicked on the song.

What fanned the flame was an issue related to Han Si-on, and what kept the flame alive was the good song.

But this song was different.

1. State Of Mind (new)(hot)

The song “세달백일의 가” released at midnight on Monday immediately rose to number one on the real-time charts.

In fact, it was natural considering the level of the song and the impact of the music video that followed the teaser.

But what happened next was a bit confusing.

From 1am to 6am, when the general public is asleep, is fandom time.

It’s a bit less so between 1 and 2 o’clock, but after 2 o’clock, it dominates the fandom charts.

Here, the ranking of the new song “Sedal Baekil” has dropped quite a bit.

It didn’t fall out of the top 10, but it fluctuated between 6th and 9th place.

This meant two things.

First of all, the fandom of Sedalbaekil has not been properly cored yet.

Han Si-on had asked Choi Jae-seong and Lee I-on for their opinions on this matter, and they responded that the image of ‘Our Kids’ was a bit weak.

“You have no weaknesses. Especially Zion hyung.”

“Is it a problem if I have no weaknesses?”

“Of course, Zion. The moment it’s completed is thrilling thanks to your support.”

In fact, it was something that made Han Si-on tilt his head.

By his standards, the members of Sedalbaekil were not people without weaknesses.

Choi Jae-seong, who has no special features at all.

Ion type with a miserable tone.

Koo Tae-hwan, who can’t lead an entire song.

Exceptionally, Onsemi is in peak form these days.

Because when I was given my part, I was trying to use the best sound and the best expression.

However, because his natural talent is limited, he cannot enter the ranks of Goths.

However, Han Si-on thought that On Sae-mi was a better vocalist than when she first came out, and that she would be able to join the ranks of Got if she returned to the group ten times.

In this way, the members’ shortcomings were clear to Han Si-on’s eyes, and he was putting in a lot of effort to cover them up through producing.

It is true that Lee Ion has recently learned how to overcome the limitations of his tone.

But that was only possible with songs made by Han Si-on.

It is not right to just accept an ordinary song and sing it.

‘So is it more advantageous to show these shortcomings to the fandom?’

However, both Choi Jae-seong and Lee Ion shook their heads at this.

If it had been like that from the beginning, it wouldn’t have mattered, but now it’s not good for the image.

Even because it entered the Billboard charts.

“I have no choice but to narrow the psychological distance by doing as many fan activities as possible.”

If the first meaning was a problem of coreization of fandom, the second meaning was a bit different.

It was said that Sedalbaekil was under tremendous pressure.

At this point, there isn’t a single song that can compare to State Of Mind.

Recently, a song released by a five-member unit called TENX10N (Tension) had pretty good results.

Han Si-on also gave it a review saying that it was a song worth listening to.

But other than that, most of the grades were miserable.

There is even talk on the internet that Dolpan is a boring time.

But on the real-time charts at dawn, these songs started to pile up on top of Sedalbaekil.

This was a check on Sedalbaekil, who had started an extremely K-pop-like activity.

But the moment the fandom’s time ended, things changed drastically.

6am to 9am.

A time when the general public’s music consumption rapidly increases and interest in new songs released overnight increases.

1. State Of Mind (new)(hot)

Sedalbaekil reclaimed the top spot here and held the top spot until 6pm, when volatility was high.

And it even rose to number one on the daily chart, which symbolizes popular picks.

At that time, the camera installation in the living room of Sedalbaekil was completed.

“Zion, you look tired?”

“no.”

“You couldn’t sleep?”

“I’m always sleeping and waking up, you know.”

In fact, Han Si-on hadn’t slept a wink, but there was no need to worry the members.

As Han Si-on shrugged his shoulders, the members of Se-dal-baek-il gathered in the living room.

7pm.

It was the scheduled live broadcast time.

* * *

This isn’t the first time Sedalbaekil has started a live broadcast.

I turned it on a few times after Resume reached number one on the charts, and I also turned it on when Yang Seok-hoon’s edited version became popular.

We also composed the third episode of Jakon based on the live broadcast we did back then.

But today’s broadcast felt strangely different.

‘Yeah, it feels like an active period.’

Until now, when Sedalbaekil turned on the live broadcast, it felt like communicating during an inactive period, but now it feels like an active period.

Can’t you tell just by looking at the recipe?

K-pop Struggles and SOM’s cheering!

In addition, it is said that they also talk about music show activities.

‘Please tell us about the cheering stick!’

The moment when those who won the lottery on Wednesday have such thoughts.

As the broadcast turned on, five men appeared on the screen.
