Korean Entertainment: Perfect Cheating Life

"I'm coming!"

The boys refreshed the webpage and clicked on the video with great anticipation.

The large screen and speakers in Kim So-min's practice room are the most expensive facilities of modern technology. They are the top-of-the-line equipment she moved directly from a four-star hotel, and the playback effect is perfect.

Cupid is primarily about publicity.

The MV puts the LOGO at the beginning of the video, but this time, in addition to SM’s LOGO, there are also Kakao and Tik Tok’s logos.

The picture turned from black to white, and a bright and dreamy scene appeared in front of everyone.

The camera slowly zooms in on the cozy princess room, and the video starts with a close-up of Kim So Min, whose appearance is so stunning that it can tear the audience's hearts apart.

Her hair was dyed a very light pink and was tied into two ponytails.

This hairstyle looks like an elegant half-tied princess hairstyle when viewed from the front, but it looks like double ponytails when viewed from the back, with the hair on both sides draped over the shoulders like the ears of a lop-eared rabbit.

The dreamy background, cute outfit, and her already delicate and beautiful face make her look like a cartoon character.

The background music starts softly and gradually gets louder, and Kim So Min's lazy singing introduction is very textured.

Her choir-like articulation, coupled with dream pop breaths and echoing guitar effects, sets the tone for the song's lighthearted atmosphere.

"Wow!"

A prelude indicates that this is a European and American electronic music song.

The brothers responded to this scene appropriately: "Somin is so angry!"

Luo Zaimin looked at the beautiful face of the girl in the picture and couldn't help but think of what she had said about "expression management."

It’s really amazing.

He bit his dry lips and thought, when he takes pictures, will he be as beautiful as her?

The digital screen continued to play the MV. After Kim So Min sang the introduction, the camera zoomed out and quickly flashed a shot of the Red Velvet members dining together in a restaurant.

She got up from the bed, looked at the evening scenery outside the window, and continued the next sentence naturally.

“The people around me are sweet every day, and I want to feel happy too.”

After a period of light consonants, a group dance of six people appeared. Several of them stood on the street, staggered in position towards the back one by one.

Kim So Min is the main C in this section. She put her index fingers together and made a shy gesture dance, and several people around her made the same gesture in turn.

"I don't quite understand. Maybe I'm just too lonely."

This background music is the "why why" sung by Seulgi and Wendy.

Bae Joo-hyun took over the singing from Kim So-min.

With her black hair draped over her shoulders and a beret on, she looked very girlish. She looked down at her mobile phone and the screen showed that she had received a date invitation, which made her smile beautifully.

"Please come soon, my happiness."

So far, this song is not only pleasant to the ear, but also continues the recognized peak beauty of two fourth-generation girl groups.

The younger brothers were so amazed by the performance of their senior sisters that they just shut their mouths and continued to watch.

The MV is similar to the previous hit song "Dumb". Some scenes use comic expression techniques and are shot like Japanese anime dramas and special effects dramas, with a sense of humor and funny meaning in the calmness.

Wendy, who returned with short blond hair, bumped into a teenager and the two bowed to each other and apologized.

Wendy looked very embarrassed and she ran away immediately, leaving the boy standing there in frustration watching her leave.

Zhong Chenle and Huang Renjun were very surprised: "It's Brother Kun!"

Wendy ran very fast, but she was singing in distress: "Cupid is so dumb"

“Happiness can make people hopeful or desperate.”

“Blame it on Stupid Cupid”

This section of the bridge is quite unique, the kind that makes your eyes light up, as if the sky has suddenly cleared up and the sun is shining through the clouds.

After the bridge, the dance scene returns again, with Seulgi standing in the center and dancing the main dance. Following the lyrics of "Cupid", the dance moves are designed to look like stretching out arms to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and finally retracting her hands to rest on her shoulders.

Seulgi's movements are neat and capable. The dance moves are soft yet powerful. Her voice, as clear as Sprite, is also very obvious in this section.

As synthesizers are constantly added to the arrangement, the Dream Pop atmosphere becomes increasingly thicker, and the hazy dreamlike feeling becomes increasingly stronger.

“I made a wish to Cupid, but he ignored me.

I finally understood, Cupid is so dumb. "

The catchy and melodious chorus is followed by solo shots of Park Soo-young and Kim Ye-rim.

Kim Ye-lin has a few flower-shaped hairpins on her long golden hair, and the princess hairstyle makes her look sweet and cute;

Park Soo-young's long red hair, sweet voice and smile make her unforgettable.

One of them appeared in the classroom and the other appeared in the office.

The MV is only three minutes and a dozen seconds long, and the people in the first part are all dressed in casual, everyday attire.

In the second half, several girls changed into beautiful theater dresses and went to the center of the stage.

Musical symbols filled the entire stage.

Kim So-min opened her eyes in the colorful lights of musical notes.

Her long pink hair spread out like silk in half a fan shape. The light pink hair was dyed with colorful colors under the light. The left side of her hair was hidden behind her ear, revealing a long earring hanging on her shoulder in the shape of a tassel flower.

She had purple contact lenses with star symbols on them, and sparkling diamonds were stuck under her eyelashes.

Her appearance is as beautiful and delicate as the popular heroine in the comics. In every aspect, she is an impeccable beauty.

Her eyes slowly swept across the front, and as the camera zoomed out, the other members appeared in the camera one by one.

The moment they appeared, the colors of the entire picture became brighter and brighter.

The picture of several beauties in gorgeous clothes and different styles standing together is as dreamy as the song.

The song ends with a distant view. Kim So Min and Bae Joo Hyun are smiling beautifully, but the other four have a depressed look on their faces.

A cartoon image of an archery Cupid flashed by, and the screen fell into darkness.

The MV was shot in a novel and somewhat funny style, which made the trainees rewatch it.

Red Velvet's hit song lived up to the audience's expectations. From the quality of the MV to the song, it fully demonstrated the texture of a top girl group and gave the public a perfect answer.

The song is called "Cupid", but the lyrics are not sweet at all, with a hint of sour anti-romanticism.

The song shows the vibrant inner world of Red Beibei, and it makes people feel happy and like being bathed in the spring sunshine and breeze.

The most important thing is that the song still does not have any RAP and still abandons the sharp high notes that Mr. Yu Yongzhen loves the most.

The MV doesn't seem to have SM's traditional middle school and Red Velvet concepts.

Although the song is innovative, it does not have any mysterious concepts or splicing, and it is normal and does not seem like a song produced by SM.

"Dafa!"

Luo Zaimin was the first to applaud.

Several younger brothers cheered and clapped their hands until they turned red.

Park Ji-sung was happy about the sisters' new song at first, but then, as the main dancer, he was a little worried about the sisters: "This song has more atmosphere than stage performance, and the performance effect may not be good on stage."

Luo Zaimin didn't care about anything and praised: "Ji Sung did a good job!"

"Ah! Brother!"

Park Ji-sung shook his head embarrassedly, and the children next to him laughed so hard that they fell backwards.

Zhong Chenle: "It's OK as long as the song is nice, right? I think the song is nice, and it has a choir feel."

He learned the prelude sung by Kim So-min: "lalalala~"

After all, he was a student of the Golden Hall in Vienna, so he learned it very well after just listening to it once.

Huang Renjun and Kaichan sang along with him with a smile, and they all sang in perfect harmony.

Dinu suddenly thought of a serious question: "Ah - we only watched the MV, and haven't seen the results yet!"

"Oh, yes, yes!" Mark woke up as if from a dream, got up and went to control the computer, "Children, let's see--"

He looked shocked.

In just ten minutes after its release, "Cupid" had 280,814 real-time listeners, setting a new historical high and receiving tens of thousands of likes.

The song's audio source instantly ranked first on Melon, NaverMusic, and DaumMiusic, and the album was ALL in.

The number of streaming plays on Spotify has also reached an astonishing number. The children who have not yet debuted have once again witnessed the terrifying popularity and passers-by of the senior group.

Mark was very happy: "Nu Na Da Fa!"

The excited children immediately sent messages to congratulate these close sisters.
