Damn Idol - Chapter 187

Fucking Idol Episode 187

Album 17. Stage

The album of the unit Masked Robber, which was released out of the blue, has caught the attention of many.

There were two types of strong winds blowing.

The first is a wind created by viewers of Self-Made.

The second is the wind created by the belief in the brand called Sedalbaekil.

People started listening to you and me without exception.

Of course, the reason I could ride that wind and go higher was because the music was good.

As with every music genre in the world, there are pros and cons.

Some people say that rock music makes them feel emotional, while others say that it’s noisy.

Some people listen to hip-hop and say it’s raw, while others say it’s childish.

The duality of the genre also exists in idol music.

A significant portion of the shortcomings of idol music are due to the ‘large number of participants’.

Since idol groups have many members, they have to split up the parts, which means that the vocals are not consistent and are divided into several parts.

Some listeners felt uncomfortable with this, and Han Si-on was one of them.

In fact, Han Si-on was more uncomfortable with the shortcomings of idol music than other composers.

While most composers strive to create beautiful melodies, Han Si-on is a bit different.

He works hard to sell a lot of albums, and he writes songs by thoroughly calculating the individuality of the singers.

That’s why Lee Ion has suffered a lot of losses in the past three months and 100 days.

I’ve spoken to Lee Ion directly, but most producers wouldn’t care much about Lee Ion’s tone of voice.

Unless you’re at the same level as Han Si-on, there’s a good chance you’ll record an album and not know exactly what the problem is.

Since the track was just skipping, they must have tried to fix it somehow.

Anyway, for this reason, Han Si-on thought that the Masked Robber’s unit album was easier to work on than the Se-dal-baek-il album.

Because there are only two vocalists.

Even among them, one was Gu Tae-hwan, who Han Si-on thought had natural talent, and the other was Lee I-on, who had perfected his acquired talent.

So it was natural that it would succeed.

After completing the entire track, Han Si-on was satisfied and said, ‘It went well.’

That means… … .

“Oh, real dogs.”

“Isn’t it too much to have no morals?”

“I’ve already made all my plans for January… … .”

It was said that other agencies shed tears.

The end of the year is a time that singers avoid.

Because of Carol, I feel like I’m being pushed down or buried in the rankings, and everyone has a lot of personal commitments, so the time spent using the content is reduced.

Moreover, if the activities overlap ambiguously in the two years of the year-end and the beginning of the year, there is a high possibility that it will be disadvantageous in annual records or award ceremony nominations.

So, everyone postpones the release of music and albums and goes on concert and event tours at the end of the year.

What this means is that the things that were piled up at this time will burst out at the beginning of the year.

Especially big singers who care about the annual charts also like to release songs in January.

So, agencies often had to be careful to ensure that the activities of big singers did not overlap and that the buzz was not dispersed.

Anyway, since there are connections between major agencies and there is a lot of groundwork needed to release an album, we get to know the schedule step by step.

But no one knew because I was an ‘indie singer’ for three months and one hundred days.

If the music video had been filmed in Korea by a domestic company, then I would have known, but that wasn’t the case.

And so it came to pass.

“Sir. Minjae hyung said yesterday. He said that we need to pay more attention to publicity… … .”

“Minjae? What did he say?”

“I think the promotion is being pushed back too much by the 3-month-100-day unit… … .”

“… … Okay. Go out for now.”

There has been an increasing number of cases where major singers who are about to release music or have already released music are requesting additional marketing from their agencies.

But what’s really absurd is that in reality, Sedalbaekil didn’t do any promotion.

Although they did promote it through self-made videos, it is difficult to see it as large-scale promotion.

Because it’s just a story told on a variety show that I’m already appearing on (even though it’s a pilot program).

And yet, the whole world is full of stories about .

Everyone is crazy about the album that was just released without any promotion.

What this means is that this is a natural phenomenon.

Natural public interest cannot be achieved through marketing.

“I’m going crazy.”

So, the agency had no choice but to complain.

2- If we look elsewhere (new)(hot)

3- Courtship (new) (hot)

——————-

I couldn’t help but watch as the name of the 3-month-old unit rose to the top of the music charts.

The 4th to 8th places below that are lined with the names of several singers who made a comeback in January, but honestly, it’s precarious.

Because even if the sound source power drops just a little, the tracks will likely rise.

These crazy guys called it a mini album and released 8 tracks.

In this situation, the 5th episode, the last episode of season 2 of Self Made, began airing.

With these viewer ratings, it’s highly likely that a special episode was aired to avoid wasting advertising costs, but for now, episode 5 is the last.

“I hope it ends well.”

“That’s why. Don’t do anything weird again.”

“Please. Amen. Buddha.”

We started monitoring with the hope that all employees of entertainment companies in Korea would not have any issues.

* * *

Neutral K-pop fans who have little to do with the 3-month-100-day issue were somewhat taken aback when the Masked Robber’s unit was released.

-Why are these guys serious about tearing up the group??

-Is it because there is no company?

-I think Han Si-on is too greedy about music. It would be good to have a member who can take the lead.

-Oh, but the song is really good.

-I don’t really care about the group so I don’t really fanboy them, but I admit that their skills are legendary.

It is a self-evident fact that Sedalbaekil is experiencing a rise in individual fans, and most idol groups are experiencing similar growing pains.

The problem was that this wasn’t the kind of trouble that could be completely fixed.

So, we had to constantly monitor the situation at the company level and pay attention to continuously strengthening teamwork.

Until the years have definitely piled up and the fandom culture has been formed.

So, from this perspective, the release of the Masked Robber’s unit album was the worst possible situation.

The album’s performance seemed to be going well, but from the perspective of the group called Sedalbaekil.

But by the end of season 2 episode 5 of Self Made, they were left speechless.

First of all, let me just say the conclusion: Episode 5 was not the last episode.

The special epilogue will air next week, and that will be the real final episode.

In terms of the broadcast content, it felt more like a continuation of the next episode rather than an ending to something.

But what left K-pop fans who watched the broadcast speechless was not the length of the broadcast.

It was because of the broadcast content.

At the end of episode 4, Goo Tae-hwan and Lee Ion’s unit album was released, along with the music video…

At the end of episode 5, someone sang a song again.

The song he sang had a completely different feel from the R&B presented by Koo Tae-hwan and Lee Ion.

Because it was EDM DANCE.

Even though it was EDM for dancing, it wasn’t a genre where loops were the main thing like what you hear in clubs.

Rather, it was closer to flashy synth pop with a touch of new jack swing.

People who aren’t familiar with this genre might think it’s techno.

The main character of the song was Choi Jae-seong.

-no way?

-No?

People were curious whether Choi Jae-sung’s song would be released again.

Common sense tells you that this makes no sense.

Just a week ago, the same group’s unit album came out, and it stayed at the top of the charts, sucking up all the buzz.

But what if Choi Jae-sung’s song comes out now?

It’s just a competitor.

This was a situation that neither the fans of Koo Tae-hwan and Lee Ion nor the fans of Choi Jae-seong would like.

But it was still three months and one hundred days.

At midnight that day.

Choi Jae-sung’s music video was released.

[Choi Jae Sung – Drop Official M/V]

-Now, let’s fight.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋIsn’t Hip-Hop Crazy?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Only the strong can be my team (pushing off a cliff)

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWow, this is so ridiculous but interesting. Is Choi Jae-sung good at singing?

-You can’t do it? Even though you won the S-Numbers Championship?

-I don’t see the Snum.

-Just think of Choi Jae-sung as a really pitiful guy. Why did he have to be on the same team as Se-dal-baek-il?

-Choi Jae-sung sings really well. But it’s a bit different from 3 Months and 100 Days. Should I say that he’s good at both this and that?

-ㅇㅇㅇㅇ Each of the other three months have their own specializations, but this guy is good at them all.

-But right now, the Masked Robber’s album form is crazy, so if Choi Jae-sung comes out alone, will there be a fight?

-I don’t think I can do it either.

-Yeah, me too.

– Didn’t you just release a single? This doesn’t seem to be a unit album.

-anyway.

People have been adding a huge amount of buzz to the incomprehensible move of Sedalbaekil, who released another single in just a week.

The actions of the three months and one hundred days were conveyed by word of mouth.

But the common opinion was that Choi Jae-seong would not be able to defeat .

But within one day, things started to take a strange turn.

Choi Jae-seong’s music video was a bit different from Lee Ion and Koo Tae-hwan, who gave strength to the song.

The synth-pop with new jack swing was a song that was enjoyable enough to listen to.

But Choi Jae-seong added fun to the viewing experience.

A retro feel.

The music video, shot in a back alley in LA, brought to mind Bobby Brown, the master of new jack swing and also famous in Korea for his rabbit dance.

The costumes were like that, and the dancing was like that too.

As a result, people who watched the music video even once watched it again and again.

-No, I’m crazy, I think about the drop chorus all day longㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Hey, this dance seems like it’ll be really popular. The popular kids are already following it in the clubs and it’s causing a stir.

-The dance itself looks easy lol

-If you go to a club now, this song’s remix is ​​almost always included in every DJ time ㅋㅋㅋ

-Choi Jae-seong is so cute.

-He was kind of cute in the music video. He seemed really excited.

-You were a zombie in State Of Mind. It was so much fun.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

People were addicted.

Thanks to that, in just 24 hours.

1- Drop(new)(hot)

2- Separate(hot)

3- If we look elsewhere (hot)

4- Courtship (hot)

Choi Jae-sung’s Drop has engraved its name at the top of the daily chart.

But that wasn’t the end.

-?!

-Are they crazy…

-This was an album too?
