Damn Idol - Chapter 157

Fucking Idol Episode 157

Anyone who saw it could tell that it was a forced greeting, but it didn’t matter.

It wasn’t like I was happy with the fade.

I just have something to say.

He stared at Fade for a while and then opened his mouth.

“Go your way.”

“……what?”

“Let’s not be enemies anymore. You and me.”

Although he muttered quietly, the other members of Take Scene must have heard it too.

It doesn’t matter if you listen to it or if you have a camera set up for self-made filming.

We don’t have a mic right now, we’re just capturing the background.

PD used to say that he was picking on people.

“… … .”

A look of confusion crossed Fade’s face at my words.

I guess he thought I was going to pick a fight with him or make fun of him.

Well, it could have been.

It’s not like I didn’t want to do that.

Sometimes even I get confused about what I’m thinking and living for.

Even after waking up from a nightmare, there are many times when I’m still confused as to whether it was a nightmare or not.

But one thing is certain:

Emotions are expendable.

Hating someone means you are not doing anything productive.

But now fade doesn’t mean that much to me.

When I think of fade, the days of Foder Youth come to mind.

The first K-pop idol I’ve ever challenged myself with.

It’s been over a hundred years already, and it’s such a distant past that I can’t even tell if the hazy memories are real or distorted.

But now it’s different.

Even if I fail in this life… … .

I don’t think I’ll remember Fade as a fodderyouth anymore.

The guy who opposed Sedalbaekil.

Or the guy who harassed Onsemiro.

I think I’ll remember it that way.

And this revenge is not mine.

If Sedalbaekil succeeds, Onsemiro will have to take revenge himself.

It’s not about forgiveness.

It doesn’t matter anymore.

Because my emotions are no longer tied to the days of Foder Youth.

Fade stood still, avoiding my gaze as if he was thinking about something, and since he didn’t expect an answer, I stepped back as well.

An ambiguous silence flowed in the waiting room.

See You, the leader of the take scene, opens his mouth as if he wants to say something, but the production staff suddenly comes in.

Why are you here?

I have to prepare for the opening stage.

Now that I think about it, I guess this must have been our private waiting room.

There was no mention of a private waiting room, but did that change because of the self-made filming?

So the take scene was really just a greeting?

While I was thinking that, Takeshien said goodbye and left the waiting room.

“Why did you do that?”

“What is it?”

“No, I thought you were going to say something to Fade.”

I shrugged at Ion’s words.

“I don’t have a hobby of harassing people.”

I’m not a conflict avoider, but I’m not a submission seeker either.

If you fight and win, it’s over.

I thought so, but the members showed extreme reactions.

“lie.”

“Lies.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

Why is it like this?

“If you remember what it was like in the recording studio, you can’t say that.”

“That’s a recording.”

Our first album had a bit of a tight schedule.

Choi Jae-seong had a particularly hard time.

Although I didn’t collect them, somehow Sedalbaekil gathered together those with strong, unique colors.

It’s not easy to strike a balance between the two.

So, I had no choice but to direct Choi Jae-seong in a somewhat difficult way, like catching a rat.

Well, you did a good job, didn’t you?

“I ate a ton of chocolate bars while recording, but I lost weight.”

“That’s because you’ve gained a lot of muscle mass.”

“Ugh.”

When Choi Jae-seong hits Jin-jeol-mae, the members all show expressions of sympathy.

It’s a little disappointing.

Choi Jae-sung may not know, but his skills have improved considerably since the album’s forced march.

It looks like they’re going to have a full-scale performance at Snumje soon, so you’ll feel it soon.

As I was thinking that, I heard the sound of firecrackers outside.

The stage of the scene stealer that we all know so well has begun.

“Shall we try some choreography?”

Everyone stood up at Ion’s words.

The take scene is the opening and we are the ending, so it would take 2 hours to perform… … .

I like that you’re sincere.

* * *

University festivals are a very welcome schedule for idol fans.

No ticketing is required and no money is required.

Some universities provide good seats to current students first and then give later priority viewing to the general public, but this was not the case at Gunam University.

First come, first served only!

So it was natural that the Sedalbaekil fandom flocked to see today’s festival.

It was quite a long wait until the ending time, but I don’t mind seeing other singers’ stages.

Just one team, except for the take scene.

“They are leaving.”

“It’s the opening.”

“I envy that.”

Titi looked at Prism leaving the scene after the performance of Take Scene ended.

In the past, there were cases where idol fandoms clashed with each other in real life, but not anymore.

Most people just do it, and in reality, they can get along just fine.

Of course, this was a tolerance that could be shown because Sedalbaekil was completely free from Ryan Entertainment’s influence.

If I had continued to be oppressed and unable to appear on music shows, it absolutely would not have happened.

“Still, there’s more than I thought.”

“They’re so tight-knit. Their action is no joke.”

Prism has been on a roll lately.

Because the take scene was ridiculed from so many different angles, the fandom became very united.

But whether or not, there was one thing that Titi was curious about.

‘Inactive song!’

K-pop Struggle, State of Mind, Pin Point.

This is the promotional song for this album.

Of course, the song has choreography, and now that Sedalbaekil has become incredibly successful.

It has also been revealed who created the choreography.

It’s not what the netizen investigation team revealed.

Because the performance teams that received the request for choreography are promoting Dongnebangne ​​on their own YouTube channels.

But, ironically, the best song on Sedalbaekil’s first album is not the title song.

Although Pinpoint has consistently ranked first on real-time charts since its release on a music show, the story is different when looking at the monthly charts.

Summer Cream is higher than Pin Point in the monthly chart rankings.

The funny thing is, Summer Cream wasn’t even a promotional song, it was just the 10th track.

This is literally the power of song.

It’s marketing, buzz, music shows, they’ve all been beaten up, and the pure music rankings are as high as a gangster.

That’s understandable, because opinions on pinpoints are divided.

While some people like it extremely, others hate it extremely.

It was because the unique, booming sound of techno was mixed in and it was noisy.

The same goes for other songs.

Some people hate the lo-fi chipmunk vibe of K-pop struggles, while others dislike the loose, emo hip-hop vibe of State of Mind.

But it wasn’t a summer cream.

A song I want to listen to in the car while traveling to the beach.

A song you want to listen to while looking at the blue sky on a plane leaving for vacation.

This is the song that is chosen as Flea’s number one with a title like this.

It is a sentiment that Koreans like, and it is an easy listening song that will hook you the moment you hear the first verse.

Besides, I don’t know what Han Shion did, but I never get tired of hearing it.

It was a classical musician who told me the reason.

Originally, K-pop fans were familiar with reaction culture and liked watching reaction videos.

It’s especially nice when experts in a specific field praise our children.

However, not long ago, a major YouTuber uploaded a video of himself playing the Sedalbaekil album for members of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.

At that time, a violin major who didn’t know much about Sedalbaekil because he hardly listened to K-pop told me the secret of Summer Cream.

[No, is this rubato (intentional improvisation)? The song can’t develop like this?]

[Wouldn’t it be weird if rubato was used while recording an album?]

[That’s true, but… …. So you mean this thrilling feeling was intentional? And in such a soft and cheerful song?]

[Can you elaborate?]

[To use an analogy… … it’s like a perfectly organized bookshelf with just one book slanted. That’s why you keep looking at it.]

[Is that difficult?]

[It’s difficult. If you do something a little wrong, the balance is broken or the immersion is broken. Wow, this is amazing. The composer who created this majored in classical composition, right?]

[no?]

[So, are you old?]

[You must be twenty years old?]

[Hey. Lie.]

[It’s true.]

This video rode the YouTube algorithm and once again propelled Summer Cream to the top of the charts.

But, ironically, Sedalbaekil has never performed on the Summer Cream stage even once.

At the university event in September, they decorated the stage with Resume, Colorful Struggle + K-Pop Struggle, State of Mind, and Pin Point.

Besides that, I often sang Coming Up Next songs like Seoul Town Funk and 3 Months 100 Days.

If you look at the circumstances, it’s a natural thing to do.

Unless it’s their own concert, the original event is performed with famous promotional songs.

Besides, choreography is important for idols.

but…….

‘If it’s something like summer cream, wouldn’t it be okay to sing it while lying down?’

The 10th track of the 3 Months 100 Days album was that powerful.

But yesterday, a notice was posted on the official website and SNS.

He said that he will only sing songs from the album at the remaining college events in October.

What is this sound?

It is said that they will sing inactive songs including Summer Cream.

And that first event is today.

It wasn’t just Titi who was looking forward to today’s stage.

-Is it abnormal for a military veteran to watch a fancam of a male idol?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋI also really want to see Summer Cream’s stage.

-It seems like they aren’t doing it because there is no choreography, but what if there is no choreography? You have the skills.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋokay

-You guys don’t know the instructions for using Hipzion very well, but Hipzion won’t do something if you ask it to. It will only do it if you beg it not to do it.

-That sounds plausible.

-Day 1 of the Summer Cream Refusal Movement begins.

The public’s expectations were also quite high.

In this way, the Gunam University festival began to progress step by step amidst people’s expectations.

In fact, except for Sedalbaekil, the lineup wasn’t that well-organized.

There weren’t many famous singers either.

No wonder the audience said that the opening take scene was the best.

“Isn’t this the best take scene so far?”

“So. What’s the name of the bleached kid?”

“Ready?”

“He was handsome.”

Titi, who was listening, was rejecting it with her whole body, but in fact, Takescene was not a team without skills.

Someone jokingly said, “Hey, maybe Takeshi is really good at it. He’s on par with Se Dal Baek Il.” It’s not entirely a lie.

Of course, the three months and one hundred days when Coming Up Next was implemented and the three months and one hundred days now are on different levels.

‘Just look.’

‘It’ll be completely different when our kids come out.’

Around the time Titi had such thoughts.

We’ve finally reached the end of the festival.

And then.

“Three months and one hundred days!”

Sedalbaekil ran onto the stage as the MC called his name.

There wasn’t even a greeting.

The beat just burst out… … .

The first track, which has the same title as the album, begins.

People didn’t know yet, though.

It was the beginning of a ‘full album performance’ that will remain legendary.
