I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

99 – Showcase

There are two types of showcases.

First of all, there is a reporter showcase made up of only reporters and a fan showcase made up of fans who enjoy the performance together.

And most idol groups held both showcases.

We held a reporter showcase during the day considering reporters who had to prepare stories first.

In the evening, a fan showcase was held, and once the fan showcase was over, reporters would post articles they had prepared.

It was the same for us too.

Jin Tae-seop, the MC who was in charge of hosting this showcase following , Shouted.

“This concludes the reporter showcase. Thank you to all the reporters who attended!”

-Thank you~

We returned to the waiting room, saying hello to the reporters.

Everyone’s tension was low enough to say that the stage performance had ended.

“Are reporters really like that?”

Harang was complaining.

That’s because most of the reporters remained silent throughout the stage, and the only thing that could be heard from the audience was the sound of the shutter and the sound of the keyboard.

“Well, it’s a custom, so what can I do?”

At showcases, there is an implicit rule among reporters that no matter how enjoyable the performance is, it must not be expressed outwardly. It is said to be merciless even for top-tier famous idols.

Thanks to you, I was looking forward to the fan showcase even more.

Oh, and I’m also looking forward to the music video and sound release at 6 o’clock.

“Let’s get my clothes done first and then eat dinner first!”

After having an early dinner.

Finally, it’s 6 o’clock.

We moved to a waiting room with a clean white background to film the music video reactions.

I was handed a tablet.

“Thank you!”

“This is my first music video~”

“aaah, what should I do?”

“I’m so nervous…”

The members huddled together and screamed at me holding the tablet. Everyone had their eyes fixed on the tablet screen.

“Thumbnail Dohee’s?”

“Oh~ Lee Do-hee came out pretty?”

“Cute…”

“Our youngest is pretty~”

The thumbnail of the black and white photo showed me looking at the sky and my red eyes glowing particularly red.

‘Wow… Lee Do-hee, how can even the atmosphere be unrivaled?’

My dreamy appearance.

The red eyes and out-of-reality appearance reminded me of a fictional vampire.

This is art.

Shouldn’t UNESCO preserve it?

How can it be like this?

Of course, while I was developing self-love, the reactions of those around me were also enthusiastic.

“Dohee, can you stop watching and play it now?”

“Oh, he’s just looking at my face again.”

“What are you doing? Play it quickly!”

…He’s jealous because I’m a thumbnail.

If you ask me, I’ll take first place. Hmm.

Anyway, I played the video.

We start with the classroom seen in the teaser.

It was just a daytime scene with sunlight shining.

Members in school uniform greet each other coolly as they leave the classroom.

And Sarah is left alone in the classroom when everyone else has left.

The moment the curtain blew in the wind and a ray of sunset shining through the curtain illuminated Sarah’s eyes, the baseline flowed.

And a deviant siren sound.

“Oh~ Eunsera is in a great mood~”

“Wow, when did you film this?”

“Hana, when she left work alone, brazenly saying she had filmed all of her scenes.”

“When I rest, I should rest too~”

Meanwhile, the members left the classroom.

Every time we passed a structure that blocked the view between the members and the camera, the members’ clothes quickly changed to casual and street looks.

When all the members’ costumes changed, the song started with an image of me walking provocatively down the street.

[Seven gifts that will arrive someday]

‘Wow… So f*cking cool.’

[Fit as I am to bloom]

“Why did you stop?”

“Ah, Lee Do-hee, why are you stopping!”

“He’s looking at my face again.”

“Ah! Stop it, Lee Do-hee, really.”

“It’s okay because Dohee is cute…”

“Dohee… I think this is my scene next…? I want to see my scene too…”

In the end, Hana couldn’t stand it anymore and took the tablet away.

***

[Everything engraved in DNA is new]

[Because the sour taste is always refreshing]

Outside the showcase.

Songs flowed simultaneously from the hands of fans standing in line.

“Wow, the song is so good, isn’t it?”

“It’s crazy. You chose a good song…”

From noble mtl dot com

“Who is the composer? The music video is also amazing.”

After watching the music video, fans each began to interpret the music video.

“Here, Dohee is looking at the members through a telescope, and there are definitely members wearing school uniforms around her, right? But when she actually sees them through the telescope, the members are wearing street looks. They have shed the image they showed in And have a new look. Isn’t that what I’m trying to show you? And the telescope is talking about the fans who are observing. The lyrics and overall composition of the music video feel like a new side of me. What do you think?”

Two men who appear to be friends.

Among them, a man holding a light stick pointed at the screen and spoke.

“I don’t know, it’s just so pretty…”

“That’s right.”

Interpretation of the lyrics could not be left out.

[Rose where everything will begin anew]

[Where distant stars are born]

“The title is the Rose Nebula, right? Because as far as I know, the nebula is where stars are born? That much…”

“No, I don’t know about that, I just said the kids are pretty?”

“That’s right.”

Anyway, admission starts at 6:30.

The audience entered the showcase, already playing the song and music video repeatedly.

And finally, the long-awaited 8 o’clock.

The first thing that caught the audience’s attention was MC Jin Tae-seop, whom they had seen so many times in .

-Get out of there bald guy!

-Wooow

MC Jin Tae-seop, whose hair has been falling out in handfuls these days.

He said with tears in his eyes and a mischievous smile.

“hahahahaha, everyone who filled the concert hall! And everyone who is watching through the live broadcast! Nice to meet you all! Continuing from , Today’s MC is Jin Tae-seop!”

Jin Tae-seop continued the proceedings professionally, offering simple recreation and humor.

“Then, the glorious debutants of ! Let’s meet the SAVEN stage!”

The stage became dark.

I heard a familiar electric pole.

Title .

The central LED screen split and the members appeared.

-aaah!

-Kids!!!!

***

After the ‘I’m in love’ stage, the members stood on stage.

Jin Tae-seop started proceeding according to the cue sheet.

“Let me say hello first! SAVEN everyone! Nice to meet you!”

“Yes! I’ll say hello! Two or three!”

Leader Kwon Hana sang the song and the members shouted in accordance with the greeting method.

“””I’m in seventh heaven Hello! This is SAVEN.”””

Fans enjoyed even the greeting that they had never seen before.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you all! It’s such a new feeling to see you like this… Huh!? Our trainees have now debuted and aren’t they real idol stars? Idol stars! Congratulations on your debut!”

Following the MC’s hand gesture to encourage applause, huge cheers were heard from the 5,000-seat audience.

-Congratulations!!!

-Wow!

“And there’s one more thing to celebrate, right?”

MC shouted with a sly smile.

“B-side songs all chart!”

The music company that created the catchphrase “King Rae is Godne (The song is good)”.

In the late 2010s, music charts were dominated by singers we had never heard of or singers who were out of fashion.

This is their common story.

‘I rode the algorithm.’, ‘It’s a SNS pick.’, ‘Inside pick.’

Of course, it was an excuse that didn’t work and the music charts lost trust.

As music charts became famous, all streaming companies began to reorganize their charts.

And more fair music charts.

However, during this process, the idol version was also affected.

The influence of fandom’s firepower (especially streaming) has decreased.

Thanks to this, the number one entry ranking that we were all familiar with has become a thing of the past.

Of course, top idols still succeed in entering the top ranks.

“The title song ‘Rose Nebula’ entered the real-time 4th place on the Watermelon chart! It entered the 3rd place on the Jini chart! Not only that, it entered the top spot on most all charts! Just looking at the trend, it is confirmed that it ranked 1st! It’s really amazing! It’s amazing!”

‘SAVEN’, which debuted on the national hit program , Had a buzz that was comparable to that of top idols from the moment of its debut.

“Then you can’t help but hear your thoughts, right? Um… Good! Ms. Yeeun! As the representative, please tell us your thoughts!”

Park Ye-eun was taken aback by an unexpected question that wasn’t on the cue sheet.

Park Ye-eun finally looked at Do-hee, and she looked at her as if she was hoping for help.

Of course, during the live broadcast on stage.

There was no way Dohee could help, so Park Ye-eun turned to her parents and said,

“Uh… Thank you!”

“Is this the end?”

“Well, I’ll work hard!”

The MC elaborated on the short answer.

“…Yes! I feel so moved that I’m speechless! I think the fans felt it too! Right?”

-Yes!!!

“Yes! Because all the fans know! I want to continue the talk show a little longer, but the staff keeps noticing me! hahahaha, I guess I have too much to show you today. Miss Chae-rin! What is the stage you have prepared this time?”

“Yes! The song ‘Oh’ from our debut album is a teen dance genre song full of cheerful energy that cutely and wittily expresses the embarrassment and excitement of a girl who has fallen in love for the first time! The delicately repeated piano loop is a song that catches your ears. It’s a song that captivates! In particular, the colorful and cute voices of our members make it even more attractive! Please love it a lot!”

“hahahahaha, the explanation of the song is good, but I understand that Chae-rin memorized it well!”

The behind-the-scenes recording process where the MC’s playful joke was played on the screen.

The members ran down to prepare for the stage and soon the performance of the b-side song began.
