Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Kim So Min's first stage pre-recording was a success.

She checked the recording results and found that her facial expressions were just right and her sense of capturing the camera was also quite good. In addition, her singing ability was top-notch, so this version passed in one take.

At this time, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, far below the expected time reserved by the program team for Kim So Min. She pre-recorded too quickly, and the idol team that was still to pre-record had not had time to make adequate preparations.

The PD was also very surprised at Kim So Min's personal SOLO ability. Although surprised, he was experienced after all and could easily deal with such emergencies.

He was very kind to Kim So Min, and anyone who met him would find him friendly.

"Somin, you've worked hard. You must be exhausted after such a difficult stage."

"Go and take a rest first. We will notify your fans to leave the scene."

Kim So Min turned to look at her fans, who were holding Red Velvet's cheering sticks in their hands, still immersed in the stage performance and cheering enthusiastically in the audience.

The night in early April was still chilly, and the fans stayed up all night to participate in the pre-recording.

They had waited all night until now, just to see her a little longer.

Before the recording, Kim So Min saw that their faces were full of fatigue, but when she appeared on the stage, the fans' expressions were filled with joy and excitement.

During the performance, they did not show any signs of fatigue and cheered for her for a long time with full energy.

If she left like this, the fans would probably be sad too...

She couldn't help but ask, "Can I stay on the stage for a while longer?"

The PD replied, "If you want to interact with the fans, you can stay on the stage until 8 o'clock, but we are going to start dismantling the scenery here."

Kim So-min: “It’s okay, just tear it down.”

She was still wearing the red dress she wore during the performance and returned to the stage with a microphone.

When she appeared in front of the audience again, the fans' emotions were instantly ignited, and many people covered their mouths with excitement.

"Somin!" They shouted her name so loudly that even the staff were startled.

"Yes, I'm here." Kim So-min smiled with curved eyebrows.

There were many familiar faces among the fans in the audience, such as Yoo-jin and Lee Soo-won who were sitting in the front row, and the fans who often carried cameras and followed her to various activities.

Kim So-min remembered the station names of the station sisters, but she didn't know their real names.

The staff was dismantling the scenery behind her and the lights were switched to normal lighting mode. Under such light, Kim So Min looked beautiful like an immortal.

She said to the fans in the audience: "Thank you for your hard work."

The fans answered in unison: “It’s not hard—!”

Kim So Min took the initiative to mention the guest invited today: "Did everyone notice? The actress who plays the pink-haired 'I' today is Sulli from Function."

In fact, most fans had already recognized Sulli, but in order to appease the children, they tried hard to pretend that they didn't know: "Wow——"

Zhenli was pulled onto the stage by Kim So-min, and after saying a few simple words, she took the initiative to walk off the stage.

Fans urged her: "Truth! Stay!"

Zhenli laughed: "If I really stay, you will cry."

Even the love of fans is exclusive. Zhenli certainly understood this, so he left very quickly.

Kim So-min did not try to force Jin-ri to stay.

She was chatting with fans on the stage. Those who could come to the scene were her only fans, and they tacitly avoided mentioning controversial topics such as "love".

“Are you satisfied with the stage effect?”

Fans shouted out their thoughts.

But they obviously had only one purpose, which was to praise and exaggerate Jin Zhaomin in various ways.

“Very exciting and very satisfying.”

"Somin's stage was a work of art. This is the stage a 100-week champion should have!"

"Beautiful Somin, your stage performance is as beautiful and gorgeous as you are."

"If a doll like Somin really existed, I would definitely take it home and treasure it."

Kim So-min listened carefully to what they said, tilted her head and smiled: "Thank you everyone, your likes are the motivation for my performance."

After Jin Li stepped down, she sat in the waiting room, waiting for Kim So Min to change her makeup.

The stage setting for the second song "Yes & No" is far less complicated than that of "Masquerade" and will be played live directly.

The stage of this song is consistent with the song. It is not as highbrow as "Masquerade". The theme is more emotional expression, and the rhythm of electronic music is very strong. Therefore, the choreography, makeup and stage design of this song were all redesigned according to the song.

In fact, after composing these two songs, although Kim So-min personally still likes "Masquerade" the most, she thinks "Yes＆No" is more in line with current trends and the public's aesthetic preferences.

However, it is obvious that the public's aesthetic view is consistent with her idea. Judging from the series of amazing results, fans around the world prefer "Masquerade".

Zhenli sat on the sofa and watched Cody put makeup on Kim So Min.

The waiting room was a bit cold, so she put on Kim So Min's coat and curled up on the sofa.

She had to stay here with Kim So Min for a day and go out for dinner with her after get off work.

After sitting for a long time, Zhenli began to feel a little bored, so he asked, "Can I listen to some music?"

Cody took the lip gloss and mixed the colors, then put them on Kim So Min's lips.

Kim So-min: “Let it go.”

As soon as she spoke, Sister Cody's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Oh Mo? Somin, don't move."

Kim So-min blinked her big eyes innocently, closed her mouth obediently and stopped moving.

When Zhenli saw Kim So Min being scolded by Cody, she couldn't help laughing out loud, then turned on her phone to play music.

The familiar drum rhythm and electronic style made Kim So-min even more silent.

The song played by Zhenli was Kim So Min's new song "Yes & No".

Kim So-min's lip makeup was finally done, and her mouth was free to speak: "How do you play my song?"

"Because Somin's songs are really good, of course we have to play them."

Zhenli smiled: "KK can also help the baby cut the melon by the way."

Sister Cody finished her work, put away her cosmetics with satisfaction, then held her chin with both hands and carefully admired Kim So Min's beauty.

"Oh my god, our Somin is so beautiful, she is a work of art."

Zhenli also turned her head and looked at it for a while. She suddenly said, "But, isn't it too beautiful? It feels like it lacks a bit of 'NO'."

After being reminded by the truth, Cody also realized the problem: "Yeah, that's true."

The theme of the song "Yes & No" mainly revolves around "YES" and "NO", emphasizing the struggle and contradiction within oneself. The style and singing method of the song have a decadent feeling, while also implying a hint of provocation.

If the lyrics are interpreted from another angle, it can also be understood as: "I don't want to be the crane that stands out among the chickens. I want to leave the ordinary chickens."

The girl is cold and beautiful, but the rebellious and gloomy atmosphere of the song does not seem strong enough.

Kim So-min stared at herself in the mirror, pointed at her eyes and said, "Isn't my eye makeup too clean? It seems innocent. Maybe adding some blush under my eyes would be better?"

Cody thought about it and said, "Good idea!"

She picked up the blush and gently applied it to Kim So Min.

The girl with long silver hair wore a punk-style miniskirt and various metal accessories. A light blush under the eyes was added to her originally white jade face, which made her look even more morbidly sweet and sad, with a strong visual impact.

Black garters and black leg rings were revealed under her short skirt, and she finally changed into high boots of the same color, which gave her a sweet and cool look with a hint of adult sexiness.

Truth and the rest of Cody gave her a thumbs up: "Perfect!"

As the music of "Yes & No" gradually faded into the air, Truth's playlist began to play another song from the album, "Mine".

The song "Mine" is more of an ambient music. The cold and textured sound of the music box is elegant and has the vastness and tranquility of the starry universe.

Zhenli exclaimed: "I really love this song!"

"Speaking of which..."

Unable to hide her gossipy mood, she asked Kim So-min, "I remember that kid once gave you a music box, right? So--"

“Yeah, this song was a little inspired by him.”

Kim So Min: "The puppet stage and MV of 'Masquerade' were actually inspired by the music box he gave me."

Although Luo Zaimin himself certainly did not know about it and had never thought about it, creative inspiration is sometimes so ingenious.

truth:"……"

She looked strange: "Isn't this person's presence too strong in your song?"

The staff inside burst into laughter.

Kim So-min also felt that Zhenli was right.

If every creator needs a muse for inspiration, then Luo Zaimin, who appears so frequently, is undoubtedly Kim So Min's muse.

But...isn't this also good?

"Inspiration" can be found everywhere. It is both important and unimportant.

Since inspiration is easy to come by, Kim So-min doesn't have to spend a lot of time watching movies or reading books to find sensibility. She can use the saved time to do more interesting things.

Honestly, Kim So-min was enjoying the endless supply of inspiration for her creation.

How to extract the essence from inspiration and create works that belong only to her is what makes Kim So-min truly great, and not everyone can do it.
