The three-day concert ca to a successful close.
-New Black, wraps up their first concert after debut… “They only have to soar from now on.”
-“We were happy for three days” New Black thanks fans ahead of new album
-New Black Rihyuk, reveals his shy love for Soufflé on SNS with ‘I love you… Soufflé’
“Nobody say anything. Seriously.”
“Pfft…”
“Aaaah!”
I laughed and held my stomach as I looked at soone who had made a ‘squeak’ face to the fans for three days in a row.
“Who confesses their love so boldly from the first day and creates this situation?”
“I don’t know.”
“Crushed by the disaster you brought upon yourself~”
“Shut up, Wang Jiho!”
“Puhaha!”
Bi Ju and I giggled and rolled around the living room of our accommodation.
It was Sunday night.
We had finished our last concert at the handball stadium and were lounging around in our room.
The youngest, who was yawning, asked.
“Didn’t they say the music video will be released at midnight?”
“Yeah.”
“Ah, I’m sleepy… I want to see it, but I’m so tired.”
I looked at the youngest who said he was sleepy to death and turned my head to Junghyun.
“Junghyun.”
“Yes, hyung.”
Junghyun imdiately gave Jiho a piggyback ride.
I smiled enviously as I watched the youngest who was flying on a plane and screaming ‘woooo’ at the age of eighteen.
Bi Ju, who was peeling an apple, bit an apple into Jiho’s mouth.
“Jiho, be quiet a little.”
“Yes, wooo…”
The youngest nodded obediently to the housewife’s words to be quiet for the neighbors on the weekend night.
While Rihyuk and Bi Ju sat quietly on the sofa, the rest of us rolled around on the floor.
The lights that I looked at while lying flat on the wooden floor turned into a hazy cluster of light.
“Are you guys spacing out too?”
“Yes.”
The lights felt like stage lights because of the aftermath of the concert.
-Wow!
It sounded like the sound of waves when I listened to the conch shell.
The sight of the Soufflés singing along to the fireworks was also vivid in my eyes.
The concert ended a few hours ago, but the lingering feeling was still there.
Is this why the seniors and TNT scumbags said you have to do a concert to feel it?
The youngest who was rolling around next to said.
“But I’m a little sad too. It feels more and more as the days go by, but the previous day’s performance was so regrettable.”
“Right. too.”
“Really? There’s this thing. I could have done better, but I regret it…”
I sympathized.
It seed that you had to accumulate real experience in the field of performance.
We had shown our skills that we had honed through competitions, year-end stages, college events, etc., but a solo concert had its own know-how, from the nt to the small gestures.
It felt regrettable when it beca familiar to my body on the third day.
Of course, our fans were happy, but from the perspective of an artist who strives for perfection in performance, it felt that way.
“Well, it’s still our first concert. We’ll do better next ti.”
“Right.”
Bi Ju smiled and handed an apple with a fork.
“Let’s do better at the gymnastics next ti.”
“Yeah. Let’s do that.”
We laughed with our siblings and said we would do a concert at a bigger gymnastics stadium than a handball stadium next year.
Then Bi Ju, who was looking at the wall clock, said.
“Oh, it’s 11:09.”
“Space ti~”
“Space ti~ Please make our album do well.”
They waved their hands and said ‘space ti~’ at the sa ti as my birthday.
I burst into laughter as I watched my siblings.
The Soufflés who were waiting for the music video of ‘Nine’ were the sa.
-Space ti~~~
-Zen Min ti~
-Space, be happyㅠ
-Sparkling grandpa ti
-Woojoo, may your album be a hit
They were Soufflés who wished us success for our album, even though there were so traps along the way.
“By the way, what about our song?”
Rihyuk tapped the tablet with his finger.
“Do you think the general public will like it too?”
“Why not? This ti, not only the Soufflés, but also our families said they liked the song.”
Jiho nodded.
“That’s right. My sisters only listen to the songs they know, but this ti they said they would download Nine.”
“My father said he would recomnd it to the people in the neighborhood as a work song.”
“Minjun also said he liked the song.”
It might have been because of the ‘a hedgehog thinks its child is soft’ filter, but our families’ reviews were very good.
Yein, who lives in the US, also liked it because it was trendy.
“Then maybe we can relax a little…?”
It was the question that ca up every ti we released an album: ‘Will this sell?’
Fortunately, this ti we had already checked the fans’ reactions by revealing it at the concert.
It was amazing.
-What is Nine? I want to listen to it tooㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-What did Bijoo do in Nine’s dance break…?? Why can’t I see it…???
-They say it’s a banger, why can’t I see it?
-Every ti I see the reviews, I feel like na na na na Nine in in in in
-I want to see Woojoo’s low rap… I want to hear the cave rap
The Soufflés who ca back from the concert said ‘Everyone, Nine is really a masterpieceㅠㅠ’, which made the curiosity explode.
“Yeah. With such a good response…”
Surely the general public wouldn’t say ‘What is this?’
We smiled warmly at each other, saying ‘Hey, no way’.
“…”
“…”
Then we rushed to Junghyun like crazy.
“Deng-ah. Our Deng-ah.”
“The magic conch shell.”
“Tell us. Deng-ah. How do you feel about this album? Is it ominous? Is it bad and fiery?”
He was the one who always caused trouble whenever he said he had a good feeling.
When we debuted, Street Boys suddenly ca out with a self-composed song concept, and at the showcase, there was a sound accident.
“Mister, I thought you didn’t believe in superstitions.”
“What are you talking about? I love superstitions.”
“…”
I hoped nothing bad would happen, and Rihyuk shook his head at .
anwhile, Junghyun, who had been stroking his chin and saying ‘Hmm’, spoke.
When he was about to open his mouth.
“Ahh!”
We both raised our hands and warned him in advance.
“No! Good feelings are forbidden.”
“Deng! No. Kim Junghyun.”
We laughed for a mont at Bijoo’s baby-like ‘Deng!’.
Junghyun tilted his head.
“I don’t know. Half positive, half ambiguous.”
“Ah…”
“We’re in trouble. Junghyun hyung said he feels positive. Now a huge incident is going to happen.”
We were the ones who checked the social and entertainnt news to see if there was anything wrong.
I hope there’s no bad news related to ‘9’.
“But it’s okay.”
“Why?”
“Because Woojoo hyung will cover it up.”
“?”
Since when did I agree to cover it up…?
The youngest looked at with disbelief and said confidently.
“It’s the rule of New Black that if Junghyun hyung makes a bad prophecy, hyung will turn it around. Like when you fixed the sound accident at the showcase and said ‘We’re so talented~’.”
“That’s right. We have Woojoo hyung.”
Bijoo also looked relieved.
‘I trust you’ he said, opening his eyes wide.
I felt pressured when I saw the two of them.
Rihyuk said.
“Just because Junghyun hyung has a good feeling doesn’t an sothing bad will happen.”
“Yeah. Listen to Rihyuk, guys.”
“It’s just that the scale is huge.”
“…”
As I put on my earphones and listened to ‘Duksoon-ah’, I saw Durumi, who was excited and chattering away.
The youngest one turned on the app for the electronic billboard and flashed the words ‘The youngest trusts the leader’ with a star.
“…”
The others laughed at my indifferent expression.
As we killed ti like that.
The mont when it passed 11:59 p.m. and beca midnight on August 31st.
“It’s out…!”
The music video was uploaded to the official MTube account ‘New Black TV’.
While New Black clicked on it, the fingers of the Soufflés who were scattered all over the country also moved quickly.
「New Black – ‘Nine’ Official MV (4:33) 」
Soon, the music video flowed on the screen.
The background was the subway.
‘Hmm…?’
As the subway stopped and people got on and off, they were illuminated by the lights, sitting with their hoods pulled over their heads.
Under the hood, Bijoo’s fingers, which were tidying up the wine-colored hair that had fallen out, were full of accessories.
Including Jiho, who was blonde, Rihyuk, who was blue-black, and Junghyun, who was brown.
And Woojoo, who was wearing a mask under his gray hair and closing his eyes.
‘That’s why they said they were unhealthy grandpas.’
The Soufflés agreed.
When they spoiled the album on the live broadcast, they said, ‘Woojoo hyung looks a bit sick at the beginning of the music video.’
He actually looked fine, but after hearing the mbers’ words, he sohow looked like that.
“Hmm…”
I shook my head and shook off that thought.
The subway, which was busy with people coming and going, started to empty out.
Along with the mbers who were sitting sparsely, the subway lights began to flicker.
As the subway made a clunking sound in the darkness.
The lights ca on with a whoosh.
‘Wow…’
They had co out of a bridge sowhere, and a dazzling night view unfolded outside the window.
A CG-synthesized background.
It looked like Seoul, but it was a city with a strange impression.
The cyberpunk city with colorful neon signs was the place where the music video would unfold.
-The music video is aweso…
-The intro hasn’t even started yet and my heart is pounding ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is Kyuho’s wallet okay?? I’m worried about him at this point
-Kyuho seems more sincere than us
-The rainy background has a nice vibe
In the drizzling rain, the neon signs of fluorescent colors glowed dimly in the alley.
It was a background that suited the title of the mini-album ‘Neon Black’.
The mbers, who were walking leisurely, changed their outfits and started singing as they took off their masks or hoods.
The reaction to ‘Nine’ was unanimously positive.
-Finally a sexy conceptㅠㅠㅠㅠ Grandma cries
-The song is really good… I think I know why the people who went to the concert were raving about Nine ㅇㅇ
-The addiction is crazy… Nine Nine Nine
-I like how they look rough
-I sincerely respect all the people who were in charge of Nine’s outfits and makeup
-Our kids who ca down from heaven to do a world tourㅠㅠ
-New Black : Please make us three / Stylist :
Various scenes of the music video followed.
Jiho smiled and sprayed paint on the CCTV screen.
The mbers dancing on the rooftop where the power was cut off, with the background painted with fluorescent paint.
Especially, the highlight scene where Junghyun stopped the heavy rain at once received great praise.
As the views rose rapidly, New Black’s new song MV also went up on the idol community.
[The New Black coback MV that is exploding among fans right now.tube]
As a hot singer who had a lot of interest from other idol fans, the music video soon beca a hot topic.
-What’s wrong with the styling
-It’s a bit tacky… Is it just
-They’re suffering a lot for an unflattering sexy conceptㅋㅋㅋ
-The song is good. I hope they compete fairly with their skills this ti, not like last ti ^^
After the people who followed the law of early comnts and wrote malicious comnts on New Black’s posts passed by.
The praises of other fans who watched the music video continued.
-What’s with the initial flow;
-But basically, they’re all handso even if they do a sexy conceptㅋㅋㅋ
I couldn’t help but admire the way he played with a fierce expression on his face for almost 30 seconds.
‘How can he have such good lung capacity?’
Soon, a character with the English subtitle ‘The Goat’s Friend’ appeared and sang even longer, and Woojoo started to blow his whistle like a cobra for a minute.
I laughed at the sight of Blueguy shaking nervously.
‘What is this? It’s weird but funny…’
The people who entered the account called NewBlackTV clicked on the video list to kill ti.
There were hundreds of videos there.
They were the videos that NewBlack had accumulated one by one since their debut, including reality shows.
And the highlight among them was.
‘What the hell is this?’
They were the strange things that appeared on the recomnded video list.
A video with a thumbnail of a scene where soone lit a fire with a branch.
Below that, soone with a haughty face wearing a royal robe was causing trouble at a feast.
‘Historical adventurers?’
And below that, there were more weird things.
‘…They subdued SWAT?’
A video of soone in a black suit tornting a special forces officer, along with a rappelling training video.
And even a scene of baking.
‘What is this? Do they have to do more than just singing to survive in Korea?’
As the foreign fans wondered about the bizarre things, the people in various places clicked on the mouse.
“…!”
And then, a new world unfolded before them.
11 a.m.
“Ugh, I’m dying.”
“They say your mouth will twist if you sleep on the floor, but luckily it didn’t.”
“Ugh…”
We smiled warmly at each other, showing off our faces that looked like swollen toads.
Monday, August 31st.
“Today is NewBlack’s coback day.”
“Woohoo-”
“Our crazy kids, you worked hard.”
“My useless brother, you worked hard too.”
We exchanged complints to celebrate our coback day, and then we sat around the table to prepare for breakfast.
While Bijoo was rummaging through the fridge with an apron on, I yawned and asked.
“Hey, how many views did our music video get yesterday?”
“Just a sec.”
Rihyuk took out his tablet PC and started tapping his fingers.
Click.
Then he suddenly stopped.
He looked frozen like a statue, and we asked him.
“What’s wrong? Did soone make a spelling mistake in the comnts?”
“Or did you see a comnt that distorted history?”
“…”
Rihyuk stared blankly at the screen and stayed still. We snatched the tablet PC from him, puzzled by his petrified look.
And then.
“Ten hundred thousand… hundred thousand… tis…”
“…What is this?”
“Wait, let see again. Ten hundred thousand… Wait. They’re saying congratulations on 1m, what does that an?”
“One million. That’s a million, right?”
Bijoo stopped his hand that was searching the fridge.
“…”
“…”
While we were silent, the fridge beeped as if to say ‘Close ! Close !’
I swallowed my saliva and asked.
“How long has it been?”
“About 11 hours.”
“But the views are…”
The number ‘1,036,825’ that was stamped on our music video caught our eyes.
One million views in 11 hours.
We woke up to find that we had hit the jackpot.
-Wow, did you see what ca out today?
-This is going to blow up for sure. The song is good and the music video is the best they’ve ever done. Seriously, this is the best music video I’ve seen recently.
-The quality is amazing. It’s like a movie.
-After Scarlet, Yeonseok hit a ho run too. Was it true that Kyuho wrote the music video with his hair? He’s a genius.
-New Black always seed like soft tofu, I didn’t think they could pull this off. But they nailed it.
As they reacted to the quality of the music video, they also started to talk about each mber individually.
-That red guy is Bijoo, right? He looked quiet, but he’s got charisma.
-Danbe is cool. He’s got style.
-I felt butterflies when Daegil’s friend walked in.
-Woojoo? Wasn’t he a vocal mber? He can rap too. Charcoal, did you guys know this?
-No, we were shocked too when they pre-released it.
-Really? Then let’s be shocked together.
-His rap voice is so sexy. I’m drunk.
-It’s so satisfying when it explodes after the bridge.
-The beat is insane. It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited listening to a song.
And there were so who gave their predictions about the music video.
-Looking at the views, it seems like it’s going to explode.
-The music video concept and everything is full of points that the fans will go crazy for.
-They won’t be able to sleep after seeing this.
-Considering the ti difference, it’s not their usual sleeping ti anyway.
At the sa ti.
In various parts of the world, people who were browsing K-pop related content saw an interesting video pop up as a recomndation.
It was New Black’s ‘Nine’ music video.
“Wow…”
And their reactions were not much different from the Koreans’.
‘What is this? What is this?’
Sothing dazzling was unfolding before their eyes.
A city with rain falling down.
The five mbers dancing their bones off in the dreamy neon signs.
Their beauty that made them swallow their saliva every ti they saw them, and their explosive dance moves that made their hearts pound.
‘…New Black?’
If they knew anything about K-pop, they would all know the na.
They had already seen them once through the music video of Masquerade, which had a good response from overseas fans.
They were one of the most popular boy groups in Korea right now.
Whether they were in East Asia or Southeast Asia, or in North Arica or South Arica, if they were interested in K-pop, they had to know. Usually, the popularity in Korea was reflected in the popularity overseas as well.
But even if they knew about New Black, the music video they were watching now felt unfamiliar.
‘They’re so cool.’
‘Who’s that guy rapping?’
It didn’t take long for the stories related to them to start popping up on the community and SNS where overseas K-pop fans gathered.
The YouTube comnt section also started to buzz in no ti.
-If anyone knows the na of that red guy, please tell who he is.
┕His na is Bijoo 😀
┕Got it. He’s my husband from today.
-I’m repeating this song
