Chapter 240
“Look at this.”
“Wow. They’re really too much.”
Before Windflower was uploaded to the music site, the Soufflés frowned as they looked at their phone screens.
There was a lot of talk in the idol community about the pre-released music video of New Black.
-New Black’s music video is kind of weirdㅋㅋ
-The song sucks
-It’s vague. Fireworks and Masquerade were different genres, but I felt like they were going to explode when I listened to them
-Yeah, there’s no punch
-They went from strong songs to weak ones, so um… haha
-They must have made the song in a hurry for the Muggles after they got their faces known to themㅋ
-It needs to be addictive for the Muggles. This is not enough
The Soufflés who were looking at the screen were furious.
“Wow. What is this? The music critics are here.”
“How many pages are there on this thread? What is this?”
There were posts that blatantly criticized the song, but there were also posts that subtly pretended to be the majority opinion.

[The song that New Black produced themselves for this album]
[The rookie idol group that is not getting as much response as they expected from their MV]
There were more than a few posts that made them angry just by looking at them.
‘The song for this album is not that good, huh? Did New Black produce it?’ That was the reaction that they saw everywhere.
In the comnt section, the Soufflés were at war with them, but the ones who kept saying ‘It’s bad! It’s bad!’ like parrots were persistent.
-What? Just because they got so popularity, they think they’re saints? If it’s bad, we can say it’s bad
-The fans are so an
-They’re going to get sued. No slander in the comnts
-Is it because they composed it themselves? Their fans are too proud of their song;; It makes frown when I see it
-I work in the music industry and I’ll give you an objective evaluation. The other composers said the sa thing. It should have exploded at Savi’s part, but here…
The Soufflés who had a lot of experience in idol fandom were calm and thought ‘This too shall pass’, but most of them looked surprised.
‘Why are there so many posts?’
There was a lot more talk about the music video and the song than when they did Masquerade.
It was not the kind of reaction that would co out for a rookie idol group from a small agency.
Maybe if it was a famous rookie from a big agency.
It was the first ti the Soufflés experienced this.
“Just let it go.” A Soufflé who had a lot of fandom experience said to soone who was shaking their phone, “Anyway, the more these parrots make a fuss, the more buzz it will create. When the results co out, they’ll change their tune.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“…Wow, you’re so calm. I envy you.”
“Well. It’s not the first or second ti that this happens in this field. Look at the flow of the posts.”
Their finger pointed at the screen.
“There’s only a lot of talk about the song. There’s nothing about the quality of the music video.”
“Oh, right?”
There was no ntion of the music video quality being bad, even though they said this and that about the song.
It was because the quality was good even at a glance.
It felt like they were only focused on the song, which was the only thing that could be subjectively evaluated.
‘What are these people doing?’
They wanted to see their faces, who were biting at New Black as if they had taken money from them.
Did they have so grudge or sothing?
But as one of the Soufflés said, it was true that the interest also increased as the bad reviews increased.
There were also those who ca out after crossing the line and getting disgusted.
-Isn’t this too hasty? It’s not too late to talk after the results co out;;
-The song is good…? Is there sothing wrong with my ears?
-Isn’t this the sa for any idol? When the second album cos out, they say the first one was good, and when the third one cos out, they say the second one was good. What do they wantㅋㅋ
-Didn’t they also have a live singing controversy last ti?
-They’re just hitting them again when they see the opportunity
That was how the coback of the rookie boy group beca an issue in the idol community.
“6 o’clock!”
“It’s 6 o’clock…!”
The Soufflés who were gathered at the showcase site moved their hands like lightning. There were hands that quickly tapped the phone screens everywhere.
They started to leave positive reviews on the album review section along with streaming the main music sites.
It was a tense atmosphere.
‘I hope it goes well.’
It was the wish that they all shared.
It was all because of their singer.
They could guess to so extent by watching their live broadcasts and such. The singers might think they were hiding it well, but the fans could see things that only they noticed.
Like how they looked anxious as they prepared for their third album coback.
Or how they threw themselves more than usual in other shows to promote their album.
They knew how much effort they put into their third album, so they just wished them the best.
That was what was on the minds of the Soufflés who were at the scene.
‘How high will it rank?’
The fans had increased since the Masquerade, so it would be higher than that, right? But it would be nice if it was higher than Sothing.
Beat New Black.
That was when soone who checked the five-minute chart widened their eyes.
“What…?”
The other fans also checked the five-minute chart and started to open their eyes wide.
Soon, a scream-like sound burst out.
Rumble-
If it hadn’t been drowned out by the thunder, it would have been a mont when New Black, who were huddled together in the waiting room, would have noticed sothing strange.
“…”
The people who were sitting together in silence looked at each other.
At first, they were stunned.
They didn’t even think of opening their umbrellas as the raindrops fell one by one, and they had blank expressions on their faces.
Then, another scream-like sound burst out with the thunder.
Soon, the raindrops started to fall one by one.
They hurriedly opened their umbrellas in the sudden rain, but they couldn’t hide the joy that was bursting out everywhere.
“…!”
In the eyes of the Soufflés who were sitting there, it was as if every raindrop that was falling was a golden number ‘1’ shining.
Number one on the music chart.
Soufflés were in a festive mood, whether they were on the scene or online.
-Guysㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Let the music play!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Aww, I’m crying…
-Eek, I think of the kids when I hear Jiho’s way of speakingㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-I’ve loved them until now…
-We… we did it.
-Is this where I’m supposed to lie down?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWhy are you suddenly saying you’re leaving? Don’t go!!
The Soufflés who were scattered everywhere were dancing with their shoulders.
Everyone was holding a toast.
It wasn’t just the Soufflés who were excited about New Black’s number one entry.
-They got number one…???
-The fans are crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I thought the song was good, but I didn’t expect it to be number one
-When did New Black get so big??
-I thought they had so popularity, but what’s with their firepower…? It’s amazing
-They made it, huh
At the sa ti, the praises that had been hidden by the harsh criticism started to surface.
The public opinion changed in an instant.
-The song is really good… The lyrics are poetic too
-The genre feels a bit unique, but I like itㅋㅋㅋ I can’t explain what kind of genre it is, but I like it
-I really like it. It sticks to my ears
-It feels like they balanced well between the public pick and the critic pick ㅋㅋ
-There were a lot of obsessive concepts lately, like breaking and smashing, but this is healing and nice
-But why were they criticized so much until now??? I can’t tell if it’s bad even if I listen to it
-Hey. Where did the self-proclaid composers go?
The critics disappeared as if they had never been there.
There were still so who stayed and claid that ‘you have to wait and see if this is really a public pick’, but they didn’t get any response.
Of course, no matter what reaction ca out, the Soufflés were no longer upset.
-Wow! We’re fans of a number one singer!
-☆Congratulations, New Black enters the Mango Chart Contest★
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-But I’m suddenly curious, what does it feel like to be number two…?
-Hmm…
-Scratch scratch… Number two…
-I don’t know what it feels like to breathe number two air, do you?
-Spe) I’ve never breathed number two air before
-Stop it, guys. You’re making feel embarrassed for youㅋㅋ
-Aww, how embarrassingㅋ
-You were all so nervous before the show, and now you’re suddenly acting like rich bossesㅋㅋ
-I’m eight years old, and I’m high on New Black. Wow
–ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
While they were laughing at the hilarious jokes on the internet, the fans in reality were no different.
“Pwahaha!”
“Look at that, look at that.”
What they were laughing at were the wreaths displayed at the concert hall.
