Episode 125: Admiration

School Zone released a total of two music videos for this comeback.

The music video for the first song was released first.

“Wow!”

Shin Min-ho, a die-hard fan of School Zone, heard the news while hanging out his laundry.

He screamed and jumped up from his seat.

“It’s here! It’s finally here!”

Although there was still a month left until School Zone’s official comeback, he was still grateful that the music video was released.

“I survived. I survived. The loss was so severe that I almost had withdrawal symptoms.”

He hurriedly turned on YouTube and searched for school zones.

Then it appeared.

A hot new music video that says ‘1 minute ago’.

Shin Min-ho’s finger hovered over the video.

But he resisted touching it with superhuman patience and said,

“No way. No way. You can’t dare look into the school zone with a cell phone or something.”

He looked down for a moment at the laundry that was still crumpled and damp in the laundry basket.

“… … If you don’t dry it right away, it might smell… … .”

After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head to clear his mind of distracting thoughts.

“Hey! What? Five minutes is enough to watch a music video. Just watch it quickly and come back later!”

After finishing his rationalization, he threw down the laundry and ran into the room.

He sat down quickly and quickly turned on the computer.

I wore expensive headphones and wiggled my butt while staring at a large monitor that I also spent a lot of money on.

“Quickly. Quickly.”

The computer boots up, he goes to YouTube with trembling hands, and just as he finally clicks on a video, Shin Min-ho leans forward and stops in place as if he has become a statue.

Before his eyes, School Zone’s new music video unfolded.

* * *

The first face to appear was Han Min-ha.

“Crazy… … !”

Shin Min-ho, shocked by her beauty, reflexively screamed.

The face of Han Min-ha, wearing a sports bikini typical of track and field athletes, filled the screen.

She takes the starting position, looking straight ahead,

bang!

I ran with a noise.

And then, with the music starting, the school zone in their field attire formed a large formation and began to dance.

A sandy beach on the shore of a crystal blue lake.

Standing most prominently in the center of the large display is Shizuka Hoshi, wearing a pretty one-piece dress.

Shizuka wearing a bonnet with a large brim and a string tied under her chin. And the other members lined up around her like flower petals to make her stand out.

She walked out cheerfully and sang a song.

“Ugh… … . That. The one-piece dress and hat that Lee Yong-won designed… … . This is crazy. This is crazy… … .”

Even while Shin Min-ho was clutching his heart, several scenes flashed before his eyes.

Yun Chae-in getting off the horse.

Emily Cruz with a bandage on her cheek and a gun out.

Yeo Min-seo looks out the window while riding an old train in a backward city.

As each member’s concept was introduced, choreography was added in between.

Although it seemed like everyone was dancing to the same choreography, each member had a distinct personality when it came to their part in singing.

Han Min-ha is strong and cool.

Yeo Min-seo’s dance moves are pretty, even though they seem to be light.

Shizuka is cute.

Emily is playful, and Yun Chae-in is soft and feminine.

On the one hand, it was similar to watching a long-term show.

Some people just run around and get excited.

Some people seem to enjoy this moment gently.

As if to show that I am a dancer! Powerful.

All of those things fit perfectly with the lyrics.

The lyrics, which were based on the MBTI of the actual members, showed off each member’s unique charm while also containing the message that, like a work of art, each member’s color can make the other shine and stand out even more.

And there was another point of observation.

“Huh?! It’s out! It’s out! The one-piece dress designed by Hwiya-sama! Oh! Shizuka is wearing it!”

As a true fan of School Zone, Shin Min-ho was also checking out all the videos uploaded on .

Because information about the return of the school zone has been gradually released there.

At first, he subscribed just to get the information, but as he watched, he gradually fell in love with Lee Hwi-ya himself.

Among the School Zone fan club, there were a few so-called ‘fanatics’ who called Lee Hwi-ya the 6th member, and Shin Min-ho was one of them.

As such, one of his major concerns was whether or not the clothes designed by Lee Hwi-ya would appear in the music video.

“Wow… … . This is really amazing. Hwiya-nim. Wow… … . Why am I crying… … .”

My favorite Shizuka is wearing my favorite Ihiya’s clothes!

Shin Min-ho felt his heart swell with emotion and had to hold back tears.

So many scenes passed by in an instant.

Shin Min-ho’s eyes sparkled and his mouth twisted into a wide smile.

“Ugh… … . Ugh… … .”

At some point, no more words came out of his mouth.

All he could do was groan and complain of sharp chest pain, as if he had been hit by a car.

He got lost in the music video with an expression that made it hard to tell whether he was laughing or crying.

He thought.

‘Ahh. It’s good to be alive.’

He thought again.

‘I have to work hard. I have to buy goods.’

In this boring, bleak, and ugly world, the only shining, the only beautiful being.

To Shin Min-ho, his idol, School Zone, was just that kind of person.

The video that had been flowing, giving the man an extreme dopamine rush, finally reached its end.

The last part of the music video showed that although the members live different lives in different countries, they are actually connected.

Shizuka Hoshi, who lives in a beautiful countryside, keeps liking the posts of Instagram superstar Chae-in Yoon.

Yun Chae-in, a wealthy woman living in the city, follows Yeo Min-seo’s account, who uploads her own compositions to SoundCloud.

Yeo Min-seo, who travels around busking, writes comments on Emily Cruz’s blog where she writes about her fantasies and daily life.

Emily Cruz keeps searching YouTube videos of track and field athlete Han Min-ha,

Han Min-ha, who had just returned from the game, sat on the bench and collected the countryside photos taken by Hoshi Shizuka, one by one.

The music video ended with the suggestion that these people, who lived in different places and different lives, were in fact connected and would eventually meet.

“ah…….”

A sigh escaped Shin Min-ho’s lips.

“Next. There’s no next? Next… …!”

As the video ended, leaving him with a lingering feeling that the story would continue, he felt a burning thirst.

“Ahhh… … .”

He suffered alone and then turned on the video again.

Rewatch the music video from beginning to end.

And then again, regular driving.

Back to normal!

But no matter how much I looked, my thirst did not subside.

Eventually, he couldn’t stand it anymore and joined the fan club.

Naturally, there had already been chaos there for a long time.

The praise continued, splitting the music video into segments.

Shin Min-ho blew away his regret by hitting the janggu and singing along.

But that wasn’t enough.

“It has to be spread. Something this good has to be spread to the whole world.”

He resolutely left the fan club and ran to the various communities where he usually participated.

Click. Click. Click.

His mouse is running

Various various various various

His keyboard was on fire.

– School Zone. This music video is a hit, isn’t it?

– Go see Shizuka, a treatment for depression.

– Breaking news. Lee Hwi-ya’s costume appears in the School Zone music video!

Of course, his writings were not always well-received.

His posts, which he wrote without considering the nature of the community and bulletin board, received a considerable amount of malicious comments.

↳ Just paint a little. Are you a Stella Enter Alba?

↳ Leave him alone. He does that all the time.

↳ Don’t you know how to eat sick food?

But to Shin Min-ho, who had been baptized in the school zone, those malicious comments were nothing.

His heart was filled with a sense of mission to make this good thing known to the world.

And that’s finally starting to pay off.

– But isn’t this new song really good?

– I don’t like that crazy guy in the school zone either, but I like the song itself. A fact is a fact.

– Thank you to the person who promoted the school zone earlier. Thanks to you, I was curious about who Lee Hwi-ya was, so I looked it up… … and ended up meeting love.

↳ What. You didn’t know Hwiya? Didn’t his pictures often come up here too?

↳ I didn’t know. Are you the only one who knew about this lethal person?

After so much time of writing, checking the responses, and so much passionate time, a look of satisfaction appeared on Shin Min-ho’s face.

“after…….”

He was lying there feeling satisfied with having burned everything, but then a thought suddenly crossed his mind and he got up in shock.

“Ouch! That’s right! Laundry!”

What greeted him as he ran out was a pile of laundry already giving off a musty smell.

There are several indicators that can help you feel that a song is popular.

The most objective indicator would be reaching number one on a music chart like Melon.

But it wasn’t really a standard that made much sense to ordinary people.

The top of the music charts is always in a fiercely competitive state with constant changes in rankings, but not everyone always knows what song is currently ranked number one.

Rather, for people living busy lives, other indicators were more meaningful than things like #1 on music charts.

For example, a song playing in a cafe.

“Huh? I like this song? Whose song is this?”

“Really? Isn’t this a school zone?”

“Huh? I think so. The voice. What’s that? Did they release a new song?”

Popular songs resonate in shopping malls, on the streets, and even during the day.

Then, people started to come to know the song itself even if they didn’t know the title of the song.

And then there’s internet broadcasting.

As the number of viewers watching Internet broadcasts grew significantly, rapid transmission of information was possible through music played during the broadcast.

– Wow. What song is this?

“Ah. This. It’s the new School Zone song. It’s good, right?”

– Yes! Please tell me the song title.

“Wait a minute. This is… … a school zone.”

– thank you.

Even those who were not interested in School Zone learned of the existence of the new song and realized that it was popular.

But the one that had the biggest ripple effect was the TikTok challenge.

When teens and twenties start dancing to the song, it’s pretty much game over.

If you don’t just listen to a song and stop there, but start dancing to it and recording it on video, a real trend will begin.

A large number of middle and high school students and influencers started dancing to the school zone music.

The speed and scale of its spread were extraordinary.

School Zone, an idol group that had already established itself as a trend, was heralding another storm.
