The Malicious Member is Back! - Chapter 134

The malicious member is back! Episode 134
In fact, the timing of the release of the music video for ‘Hide and Seek’ and the start of the showcase drew criticism from many people, and the AG marketing team was also aware of this fact due to a flood of inquiries.
[Title: We will inform you of this week’s lottery winning numbers
is a mess
Is AG Marketing Team sane? In what world do idol music videos release at the same time as the showcase start time? Please, if you don’t understand the idol industry, take a look at what other agencies are doing ;; In case it was difficult, I attached it as a file for the Sledix Leopold 2OCD release schedule. Fuck, if I fail, I’ll die. Please come to your senses, August.]
[⎿Re: We will inform you of the lottery winning numbers
Hello, this is Kim Gyu-han from August Entertainment Marketing Team 1 ^^
I have read your inquiry carefully. Please be assured that we did not check to win the lottery!
We will post a notice after the next meeting. thank you.]
However, no notice was posted to change the release time.
“manager. also… Wouldn’t it be better to postpone it until after the showcase is over? The same goes for the fact that I keep getting insulting inquiries pretending to have won the lottery. As an extension of that, increasing topicality… .”
“no. It’s right to keep going. “Do you like cake?”
“Suddenly a cake? … I don’t really like it. “If I have it, I’ll just eat it.”
“okay. Let’s say you like cake, and you eat it all and feel full. But, someone tells me that this is a much more delicious cake. But I ate it earlier. “Then are you going to eat again?”
“Um, really? I already ate everything and was full… ah.”
“okay. Have you ever learned this in a marketing class? It’s better to set the table tightly in the first place. Moreover, since the showcase is live broadcast, there are people who cannot see it due to the nature of the live broadcast.”
“That makes sense. However, it is probably true that the gaze is scattered anyway. “As time passes, fewer people will see it.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. “I have something I’m preparing with other teams.”
“yes?”
“The important thing is topicality, not this.”
‘We should try outsourcing public relations, too.’
Once because director Shin Ki-ho came in, and once because T.O.Je was preparing for his debut. Each team at AG, which underwent rapid personnel changes and changes, had its own goals.
We will survive.
We are going to drink a lot of sweet water from our prepared rookie, a rookie who should do well, Tiozero!
Perhaps thanks to its grand ambitions, even though AG has already established itself in the entertainment industry, ideas and projects are coming out like a startup company that has just started.
A video ambitiously prepared by the marketing team and a certain media team has just been released.
Dalkak-
What matters is topicality.
Fans had already checked all of their teasers, mood samplers, concept photos, and music video trailers due to T.O.Je’s concept, songs, and the charms of each member.
But how can we get non-fans to see it?
It was simple.
Inserting it into a video that people who are not fans see.
Through that, you can focus attention.
“… hello? “This is Yeonwoo from Sledix.”
“Yes, I am Seongmin of Sledix!”
“Today, I got to stay with Seongmin for the first time in such a long time to film a reaction video for our juniors’ music video.”
“yes. Yeonwoo and I recently split into units, so I’m seeing things wrong… Well, shall we play the video first? “Because we are not the main ones!”
“okay. Well, we’re not the main ones.”
“Uh, um… The concept is unique, right? “Is this a vampire?”
“well. It looks like he’s a werewolf. This concept is really… “It’s fun, haha.”
In this way, other idols would ask popular juniors or well-established seniors to film music video reaction videos.
of course.
It has been difficult for AG, who had only one idol to do individual activities and was a solo singer with a very large core fan base, to receive such benefits… .
There is this time.
– “Nice to meet you, I’m Gao Yan! I’m telling you in advance that if you don’t subscribe, like, or turn on notifications, you’re the one watching this who loses! Because you’ll regret not seeing it right away!”
AG’s exclusive supernova WeTube creator reached 600,000 subscribers just a week ago.
– “It’s not Gao Yan’s Noisy Boy content today, but anyway. Please subscribe and like when I say something nice. As Gao Yan’s position within the company rises, the quality of content increases. It’s true. Isn’t everyone curious about Colombian ruins? “I’m curious.”
– “Ahh, Gao Yan…” It’s been so long since I’ve seen it, it’s truly outrageous. “What if I say that to my subscribers?”
– “ah. Before today’s content, we have a special guest! I brought it directly from Japan. Gao Yan’s close friend, in other words, Takari. Introducing. Ryota Ishikawa, Gao Yan’s flatmate in !”
– “for a moment. What does ‘Ttakkari’ mean? “It doesn’t sound right!”
– “well. Gao Yan teaches me most of his Korean, but I don’t know this word because I learned it from RoR’s chat. But it feels like a perfect fit for Ryota.”
– “You shouldn’t say anything you don’t know anywhere, Gao Yan!”
God-given aggro power and extraordinary content planning.
And, the marketing team had already confirmed that Gao Yan was garnering a lot of views through Tiozhe’s daily manager activities video, so there was no way they could miss out on such a talented person.
Moreover, one of the flatmates who shared a room with the debut members also willingly agreed to appear in the video, so the proceedings went smoothly.
– “So, even though I’m jealous today, I’m going to film a reaction video for the music video of Tiose’s debut song, ‘Hide and Seek.’ Ryota, have you seen all of Tiose’s previous teasers?”
– “of course. I watched it, biting my handkerchief a lot out of jealousy, envy, and pride. Logan has become so cool, right? This is cowardly. “I can do it well too!”
– “I’ll correct you. Logan was always cooler than Ryota. Of course, both are not as good as Gao Yan. Gao Yan is the only Gao Yan in this world.”
– “too bad! Then what about Chunyong Aniki? Would you say you are cooler than Chunyong Aniki? sincerely?”
– “… Let me get to the point. Tiose’s new concept is the story of Boy Scouts looking for a dog named ‘Xenia’. Mmmmm. However, both sides suspect that the other stole it. What a great thriller, suspense. It looks very nice. Gao Yan is really excited. “I listened to it earlier, and the song is really good!”
– “You are ignoring my words as you please. hey?”
– “however! I thought it wouldn’t be fun if I just watched it. Gao Yan’s iron rule. ‘If it’s not fun, it’s meaningless.’ So, Ryota and I are going to make a bet on who stole Xenia first and then watch the music video!”
– “Gao Yan? “Can you hear me!?”
The louder, more hectic, and the more they wanted to say, the better.
The more interesting the messiness of multinational flatmates becomes, the more people… .
♪♬♩♬♪―
– “Wow, are we starting right away? “I haven’t decided who the culprit is yet!”
– “The world of competition is cruel. Gao Yan had already decided in his mind who would have stolen it. “Logan clearly stole this.”
– “yes? “Why?”
– “Because Gao Yan’s spirit tells him to do so. Ryota, please choose quickly. “There is a penalty for the person who loses.”
– “Oh, really… ! Well, then I… “I’ll take Siu!”
♪♪♩♪♬♪!
We will focus on the six Boy Scout members who appear in their video.
* * *
Unlike the song, where each member’s part begins immediately after the introductory melody, the music video first shows someone stepping on a slightly damp forest path with a brown walker.
From the walker to the irritable knees, to the slightly oversized scout uniform, to the numerous badges and insignia on the top.
– “The costume is really cool. “I wanted to wear something like that when I debuted!”
– “Shh, Ryota. Ryota doesn’t look good even if he wears something like that. That’s what good-looking people should wear. Just like Gao Yan.”
– “You don’t want to hear that from someone who doesn’t wear the same clothes, do you?”
No matter what Gao Yan and Ryota bickered about, the camera in the music video just slowly zoomed in on the subject.
And, just before the target’s face is revealed.
The paper slapped over his face, making it unrecognizable who he was.
– “now… It seems like this person is the one who stole Xenia. “The first appearance is significant.”
– “hmm. Intentionally covering one’s face like this might suggest something like that. However, Gao Yan will not pick the culprit as rashly as Ryota. “You can only find out things like this by watching it until the end.”
– “Ik, you keep ignoring me! uh? This is Siwoo! Yoo-chan too!”
Just as Ryota said, who was hitting back by hitting Gao Yan, the music video suddenly changed screens to show the inside of the old tent.
Oil lanterns were dangling from the brown tent that looked like a Boy Scout uniform, and fountain pens with exploding ink were lying around on the floor.
– I count.
one to ten
Ready or Not, Here I come
The sound of your laughter from far away
Seeing this, Jang Si-woo is hugging his knees with a meaningful expression, and Bang Yu-chan is shushing him and putting his finger to his mouth.
– “There seems to be some secret. A secret between the two of you? ah! I think they said he was an accomplice. But, still… .”
– “Oh, Ryota. I understand once you say it. okay. It all feels like this! In the meantime, we have to find out who the real culprit is.”
– “that’s right. Now that I think about it, it seems like that lantern and fountain pen were signature items of another member… !”
It was just as they had reasoned.
In the following video, Ji Hwa-seong and Son Jae-ha were also seen sharing their own secrets, and looked slightly uncomfortable when meeting Jang Si-woo and Bang Yu-chan.
– “You’re good at acting?!” If it were me and Gao Yan, I might have laughed as soon as I made eye contact with her.”
– “Ryota, it’s difficult to say things like that. The one smiling is Ryota Hana. Because Gao Yan is a professional, he knows very well how to immerse himself in the moment.”
While they were talking like that, Kim Chun-yong and Logan had already joined the movement of the Boy Scout members.
Although the details of the Boy Scout uniforms they wore were all different, one thing was the same.
Everyone is wearing a dog-shaped badge engraved on their chest.
– Hi, Hi. Hide and Seek
See, See. My eyes only see you
Hi, How was your day?
At the end of this curiosity
I found you, I saw you
And, the members, who were riding in an old jeep as if they were about to leave somewhere, looked straight ahead with expressionless faces and sang the highlight part together.
– “Hmm. The song is really exciting, but the video isn’t, so it gives me goosebumps… .”
– “Wait, wait! Ryota. Gao Yan realized something. “If Gao Yan’s thoughts are correct, they have become helpless because Xenia is gone.”
– “Isn’t that obvious rather than enlightenment? “I told you everyone really liked it!”
– “Isn’t there a proverb in Japan that tells you to listen to what people say to the end?! So, after this… .”
Before Gao Yan finished speaking, the second verse began and the screen completely changed.
♪♬♩♬♪―
Although he was wearing a Boy Scout uniform in the first verse, Kim Chun-yong, who opened the second verse, was wearing a large, comfortable black tank top and leather pants while playing with a MacGyver knife.
– “―I didn’t expect it to be this different! Normally, if only one outfit is shown in a music video, fans get angry. Ryota, please know this for your future debut.”
– “Does it matter now? No, until now, it was just the two of us sharing secrets. Suddenly, Chunyong Aniki is alone… .”
Ryota’s words could not continue after that.
– “… Eh? Sleep, wait a minute. What! Aren’t the two allies?!”
The same was true for Gao Yan, who was constantly talking nonsense with a serious expression on his face.
– On a rainy day like this
three steps to find you
Hi, Hi. But Hide tightly
After finishing his first verse, Kim Chun-yong threw the knife towards the wall, and the paper hanging on the wall was split in half by the knife… .
– Lying is my specialty
It’s all for you
Ready or Not, Here I come
The sound of your footsteps from far away
Behind it, a photo of Logan holding a puppy presumed to be Xenia fell down.
The people who were surprised by the twist in the situation were not only those watching the music video and those watching Gao Yan and Ryota’s reaction video.
[ㄴㅂ@Bombangbom
Just sleep, I’m so shocked right now that I can’t speak]
[ㄴㅂ@Bombangbom
What is the culprit? for a moment… Who is the culprit? No, but Chunyong is so pretty today. Her hair was done so well that I feel like crying. No, but who is the culprit?]
[⎿Yongyongguri @yongyongletsgo
??Neulbom, I can’t watch both the music video and the live broadcast right now ㅠ Is it Monday?]
[ㄴㅂ@Bombangbom
No, Yongyongguri, well, the kids’ performance has just ended. How can I explain this?]
The same was true for those who watched the ‘Hide and Seek’ performance to the end faster than anyone else at the showcase.
