The Soufflés were huddled together, communicating.
It’s a feeling of being happy but not happy…

anwhile, the Soufflés were taken aback by the explosively growing comnts on the MiTube video.
‘Huh? The reaction is…’
They sorted the comnts by popularity, and most of the top ones seed to have a negative nuance.
It felt like their hearts were sinking.
NewBlack is crossing the line these days, LOL, seriously
When they saw comnts with a similar vibe ranking at the top, their hearts started pounding.
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Seriously, if you guys make all the jokes, what’s left for us to enjoy?”
“That’s crossing the line.”
“I was about to make a joke in the comnts, but you’ve already said it all, haha!”
“I was going to make a joke about Pri Minister Hwang Hee -> Damn, the universe beat to it -> I was going to use the cattle-herding thod -> Jeez, Jiho already did it.”
“If the main content is funnier than the comnts, what are we, the netizens, even here for?”
“How can anyone top the rap version of ‘The Communist Manifesto’, lol?”
Most of the top comnts were playful jabs saying, “If you do this, what fun is left for us?”
Then, the views and comnts started to grow exponentially.
Initially, it was the active internet community users who showed interest, but soon, NewBlack’s video began to spread far and wide.

On social dia, parts of the video were clipped and posted on pages with captions like “Guaranteed fun for the day.”
“Did you see NewBlack’s video featuring our hotown? It was hilarious.”
“Really? That program can be funny?”
“Just watch it. Even the anchors hosting the show almost had a broadcast accident because they were laughing so hard.”
“…Could it be interesting?”
It was hard to believe that a mundane lifestyle information program could be funny.
But those who watched the video couldn’t resist recomnding it to others.
As interest in my hotown soared like a virus.
-“The producer of ‘Now in My Hotown’ said in an interview, ‘We had to request NewBlack first, couldn’t miss the chance.’”
Even the program’s producer was seen giving interviews with a joyful face, saying, “Thanks to NewBlack, we’ve beco a hot topic.”
An astonishing achievent, becoming nationally famous after just one appearance.
“But why is NewBlack doing a collaboration with my hotown?”
“What’s this small theater tour about?”
“Wow, lol, they really are popular idols, aren’t they? Looks like they’re doing a national tour.”
Questions that started with “Why are they appearing there?” led to answers about the small theater tour.
To the general public unfamiliar with idols, it seed like “Ah, NewBlack is doing a national tour, they must be the most successful.”
In response, the idol community’s anti-NewBlack faction was leaving angry comnts, but the fans, the Soufflés, didn’t care about any of that today.
“Yeah… that’s possible, oh my.”
“Are you upset because our kids are getting talked about a lot?”
“You guys chatter, I laugh.”
“Yes, yes, indeed. Compared to our kids Tenty and Teens, they are insignificant, yes, yes.”
“Let the music play louder!”
Everyone was in high spirits.
The collaboration episode of ‘Now in My Hotown’ had received a positive response, but the real buzz was in the idol community news on Monday.
[NewBlack Special Album First-Week Sales.jpg]
(7-day sales record)
Total sales: 225,3** copies
This ti, they beca the third group ever to surpass 200,000 copies.
ps.
Baramkkot (69,000) -> Nine (117,000) -> Winter Sleep (225,000)
After ‘Nine’ went viral internationally, it seems like a lot of new fans ca in through awards and end-of-year performances.
Please, no more comnts about outdated accusations of chart manipulation.
The first-week sales, a asure taken right after the album release, proved the fandom’s strength, marking a career-high for NewBlack.
Almost double the increase from the last ti.
Until now, only TNT and TeenSpirit had surpassed 200,000 copies in first-week sales, and now NewBlack has joined them.
“Wow…”
“I was curious how much ‘Nine’ would blow up internationally, and it really did, lol.”
“NewBlack ♥”
“That’s insane!”
“I thought they’d only focus on digital sales because of the song’s style, but the physical album blew up.”
“How much is the fan signing event?”
“The album is gorgeous, and the package is generous, I’m totally satisfied with this release _”
“Yeah, the package is aweso…”
“Honestly, I’m so jealous. I wish my idols could sell at least half as much…”
“NewBlack really sells well… I’m curious about the total sales.”
“Where are those who were gritting their teeth, saying this album wouldn’t sell?”
“Do those who talk about ‘rock bottom’ see the rising stairs as going down?”
“The Fibonacci theory was real, lol. I thought it was ridiculous when the 8 13 21 joke ca out.”
It was an event that made the idol fandoms take a second look at how large NewBlack’s undervalued fandom really was.
The album sales of TNT and Teen Spirit were not much different from ours.
Even the Soufflés, our fans, were left scratching their heads after seeing the numbers, wondering, “What’s this all about?”
As I looked at the figures, I couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, “Wow…”
Of course, not everything was rosy.
The fandoms of TNT and Teen Spirit, which had been quiet recently, showed signs of stirring, ready to challenge us fiercely.
But the biggest downside was…
“Guys, guys, your cute little Charcoal is here, boo >ㅇ
