Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

Chapter 169: "Summer Magic" song returns

On August 8, Red Velvet released the trailer song "Power Up".

This is a song whose teaser photo was released before, and fans have been looking forward to it for a long time. After the song was released as a pre-release song, it quickly swept the Asian music charts.

[When you play and when you work, you should have fun].

The lyrics of the song are as energetic as the title, and the melody is catchy, which is like a "spiritual power bank" for the listeners on a hot summer day. Therefore, the song was soon nicknamed "Power Bank" by fans.

However, the song's popularity is limited to Asia. In sharp contrast to its popularity in Asia, the performance of "Power Up" in North America is not satisfactory.

Because of Kim So Min's fame, the song barely made it onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but quickly dropped out of the charts. The disparity between the results and previous performances made netizens on the Peninsula question Red Velvet's development in North America.

The higher the status, the more you will be looked down upon by others if your performance is slightly worse.

Kim So Min and Red Velvet did some charity work for women before their comeback. It was a well-intentioned move, but it accidentally irritated some people. In addition, her performance in North America was not as impressive as her solo period, which caused ridicule on the Internet.

[When the grades are slightly better, he becomes arrogant, and now his true colors are revealed]

[I did charity work for the sake of comeback, but the results after my comeback are not as good as before kkk]

[Don’t worry too much, just do your job well and be down-to-earth]

Doubts and negative comments came one after another, which seemed to cast a shadow on Red Velvet's return, but they were very generous and turned a deaf ear to the online comments.

The ridicule on the Internet only lasted for a few days. Soon, Red Velvet officially returned with the title song "Summer Magic" written by Kim So Min with a fearless attitude.

Kim So Min's name has become a symbol of "believe and listen". The regular title song with only her name from beginning to end attracted a large number of passers-by, and the dazzling results that came out in real time slapped the faces of many black fans.

The title song of Red Velvet's new album "Summer Magic" is the song of the same name written by Kim So Min.

Kim So-min paid tribute to Virginia Woolf's classic work, A Room of One's Own.

The song's creativity, concept, including the MV and lyrics, are her interpretation and support of female power.

The MV opens in a summer scene, showing a seemingly ordinary but meaningful room. The sun outside the window is scorching hot, and cicadas are chirping tirelessly.

The camera slowly moves out from the window of the room, first passing over the colorful hats on people's heads, then sliding across the cars speeding on the street, and finally stopping at the window opposite.

Through this window, the audience can clearly see a blank piece of paper lying quietly on the table in the room.

On the paper is the carefully designed LOGO of the comeback song "Summer Magic", the colorful colors are very eye-catching.

The LOGO flashed by, and then the camera showed the Red Velvet members in their own rooms one by one.

The members of Red Velvet have reached new heights of beauty, and they have also shown their rich inner world and talents through their respective rooms.

Pei Zhuxuan's room is warm and comfortable, with soft lights in every corner. She sits on a comfortable sofa, staring at the screen, watching the wonderful performances of the actors in the movie, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, sometimes surprised, improving and honing her acting skills;

There are paints and easels in Seul-gi's room, and the walls are covered with her carefully painted works. She stands in front of the easel, and the newly painted picture is the six people in Red Velvet. As the picture gradually takes shape, Seul-gi smiles with satisfaction;

Wendy's room was decorated like a professional karaoke room. She was running on the treadmill with a microphone in her hand, concentrating on practicing singing.

Park Soo-young's room is full of fashion elements. The hangers are full of clothes that she has carefully matched. She changes her clothes and walks confidently on the catwalk.

Jin Yilin's room is childlike and beautiful. Fast-paced music echoes in the room, and she practices dance moves to the rhythm;

Kim So-min sat at a desk piled with books and manuscripts, concentrating on writing. The bookshelves in the room were filled with various books and literary masterpieces.

The sign on the door reads "Judith's room, in progress, do not disturb."

She showed a hesitant expression from time to time, as if she was troubled by the difficulties in her creation.

Just then, Bae Joo-hyun knocked on the door gently and greeted Kim So-min happily.

The four girls behind him poked their heads out one after another, with mischievous expressions on their faces, wanting to give Kim So Min a surprise.

Kim So-min put down the pen in her hand and couldn't help but smile when she saw their expressions.

Bae Joo-hyun walked into the room with her hands behind her back, a mysterious smile on her face, then shouted "clang" in surprise and handed the letter in her hand to Kim So-min.

Jin Zhaomin took the letter and slowly unfolded it. It read: "It is an honor to invite you to give a speech on campus - Oxbridge University."

When the girls saw these words, they cheered and jumped for joy. They hugged each other tightly and jumped for joy.

"Summer Magic" is more of a fresh slow song style. The main instrument uses a rhythm guitar with a very clear sense of grain. The prelude is full of summer flavor.

The retro arrangement and appropriate instruments are perfectly matched to create a dreamy and hazy atmosphere.

The combination of bass and guitar brings out the summer atmosphere. The whole song makes the listeners feel like they are in an afternoon where the sun is scorching and evaporating, with coolness and rich passion intertwined.

[321, cast magic on you]

【It's summer, please be happy. 】

【Put aside your burdens once in a while and come out to play together! 】

[Summer doesn’t have to be rushed]

[No need for sparks to fly.]

【You don’t have to be someone else, just be yourself. 】

The purpose of creating "Summer Magic" is to make the audience happy, and Kim So-min performed perfectly in this song. She was responsible for singing, writing lyrics, composing, arranging, and post-production mixing.

The lyrics she wrote are based on her love for herself and life. She also hopes to encourage listeners to let go of their constraints, bravely pursue their true inner thoughts, and enjoy the beauty of life.

The beautiful and poetic lyrics, coupled with the heart-stirring rhythm and melody, and the vague artistic conception, the appropriate electronic music added to the lazy singing of several members of Red Velvet further highlights the ethereal and fairy-like vocals.

They found their own voice and power in their own rooms, injecting magical magic into this summer with "Summer Magic".

Kim So Min knows that many people will listen to her songs.

If her songs can bring positive impact to others, even just a little bit, it makes her happy.

This is the creator's medal.

Kim So Min and Red Velvet once again proved their abilities to the public with the performance of their songs. Those black fans who previously mocked Red Velvet for being "failed" are now speechless.
