Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

On September 9, Red Velvet released their first full-length album "The Red".

The title song "Dumb Dumb" once again topped the charts in real time.

With catchy songs and a pleasing performance featuring all the members' good looks and talents, Red Velvet has successfully improved the public's favorability with this comeback and cleared all previous negative comments in one fell swoop.

The songs in the album are composed of hooks and dynamic bass melodies.

In the MV, the members changed into retro styles, put on freckles, and turned into cute robot dolls.

With this song, Red Velvet successfully positioned their own style, so that freckles makeup and robot doll images became their iconic features.

Except for the brainwashing little hit "Dumb Dumb", the other 11 songs in the album, none of which are ballads, are of superb quality, perfectly interpreting the red concept of Red Velvet.

Each song ranks quite high on the music charts.

Although the song "e on! summer" is only an included song, it competes with the main song "Dumb Dumb" and takes turns to be the number one song in the music source.

Harmony is the most suitable arrangement style for Red Velvet.

Each member of Red Velvet has a very good grasp of the harmony of tone. This song uses bright harmonica with vocal harmonies and chorus throughout the whole song, which is both fresh and full of youthful vitality.

It lived up to Kim So-min's expectations and conquered the ears of the audience. Even though it is autumn now and summer is over, it does not prevent people on the peninsula from continuing to listen to their favorite songs.

As the song was so popular, there were even many cover versions on YouTube, which led to Red Velvet arranging her stage movements overnight and preparing for the performance.

The music industry is also a very realistic place. Red Velvet, who debuted last year but received no attention, received many small notes backstage during her promotion period, including one from someone who is considered an "iron wall man" by many fans.

Several members who are at the rising stage of their careers value their jobs very much and ignore these small notes.

Kim So-min also received a lot of notes. When she looked at the notes and saw the names of those unfamiliar seniors on them, an expression of disgust appeared on her face.

Cody and the staff present at the time were all her own people, and Jin Yilin even jokingly asked her, "Do you like it? Do you want Zai Minxi to give you one?"

The sisters couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Kim So-min threw the note into the trash can with a fake smile, and said venomously: "I just think that they must have mental problems to attack minors at such an old age."

Even if the writer was in her 20s, she would not say such words; a man in his 30s who still wrote ambiguous words to an underage girl like her, isn't he a complete scumbag?

The members felt that Kim So Min was right.

Kim Ye-lin, who is the same age as her, was nervously grabbed by Bae Joo-hyun and given a lecture, as she was afraid that the younger sister would be fooled by these sweet-talking seniors.

Jin Yilin: “…”

Who did she offend?

Hong Beibei can no longer stay in the waiting room comfortably like last time.

In the past year, hundreds of idol groups of all sizes have debuted, and according to the tradition of the music industry, their waiting room has never been quiet.

Among them, Kim So Min remembers the new group called SEVENTEEN the most.

The reason to remember them is simple: their group is called 17, but there are only 13 members.

This name can really drive people with obsessive compulsive disorder crazy.

Their captain Choi Seung-cheol walked in with his teammates. Kim So-min was leaning on the sofa with headphones on, listening to music with her eyes closed.

As the captain of Red Velvet, Bae Joo-hyun chatted with Choi Seung-chul for a few words and suddenly found that Kim So-min was still listening to music, so she immediately asked Kim Ye-lin to wake her up.

At least you can't listen to music in front of others, as this would be very disrespectful.

"Somin, someone's here."

When Kim So-min took off her headphones, she saw a room full of people. She sighed silently and listened to them carefully.

Although SEVENTEEN is a new group, we don't know whether they are unlucky or brave enough to return in such a fog.

They debuted in May, coinciding with BTS and EXO; and returned on September 5th, coinciding with Red Velvet.

This time, Red Velvet's new album achieved sales of 25 in the first week, which has undoubtedly booked the first place on all subsequent music promotion platforms.

and so……

Well, it’s good that young people are courageous.

Several members of Red Velvet are already very familiar with the steps of performing songs and encores, and can show their strength and beauty to the greatest extent in front of the camera.

The promotion period is coming to an end, and the music industry has also undergone changes because of their comeback.

There are three major companies in the entertainment industry, namely: "SM, YG, and JYP".

The three companies consciously differentiate themselves from each other.

SM focuses on experiments and perfect idols; YG focuses on live performance and explosive rap; JYP focuses on being down-to-earth and approachable, each with its own characteristics.

The other two major companies, YG and JYP, have not yet launched new girl groups. Therefore, after this comeback, Red Velvet has firmly established itself as the top new generation girl group.

With the powerful public relations, capital and resource operations of SM company, Red Velvet has successively taken on the team endorsement of many first-line brands, and also took on the endorsement of the latest mobile phone of Four Star, consolidating its position as the top girl group of the new generation.

As Red Velvet's popularity continues to soar, various popular variety shows have begun to use the song "dumb dumb" as background music, and even arranged for guests to dance to the song.

Because the difficulty of dumb's dance is comparable to that of boy band dances, it has gradually become a classic girl group song that has been covered by many boy bands.

Anyway, none of their senior brothers were left out and they all jumped.

Many popular TV series have also extended olive branches to them, such as the "Descendants of the Sun" which is currently popular in Asia.

The male protagonist played by Song Joong-ki in the drama held up a sign and shouted: "Chalangheyo Kang Se-ki"; there was another scene where he went to a concert and was discovered by his girlfriend, and he said with confidence: "It's all my fault, Red Velvet did nothing wrong."

This...Kim So-min can only say thank you to the screenwriter for his support.

But to be honest, when Red Beibei went to the scene to make a guest appearance, the male actors and extras in the show were indeed very enthusiastic in cheering them on.

This is the time when Red Velvet has the most male fans, certified by Kim So Min.

With the return of Red Velvet, group variety shows and other materials were also exposed.

Since Bae Joo-hyun and Park Bo-gum became the 31st MC of "Music Bank", her beautiful face has become well-known to the public. She and the male partner have a strong CP feeling and are called the "Friday Couple". She has increased the ratings of Music Bank to a considerable level and has also gained great national popularity.

In the group variety show Red Velvet, Bae Joo-hyun and Kim So-min get along very well. The two beautiful girls have similar yet different noble and cold temperaments, and completely different personalities.

The only thing in common is that the fans’ praise for the two people’s looks is recognized, just like FX’s Soojung and Sulli, the two of them have also become the double faces of Red Velvet.

In fan circles where everyone likes to rank people, major forums have launched voting to rank appearance.

Kim So Min has made too many comments on Instagram that have broken the defenses of Peninsula Men. Last time, the post "SM please tell Somin to shut up" was even on the hot search list.

Despite the large-scale stubbornness of the Peninsula men, the voting results showed that Kim So Min and Bae Joo Hyun were still regarded as the fourth-generation girl group's beauties by the fan circle.
