(Video of NewBlack’s Junhyun forecasting weather on MorningQ)
The mont I saw snow falling, this ca to mind
An idol kid from Korea with insane intuition
It was footage of NewBlack’s Junhyun on the morning information program, confidently declaring, “It’s going to snow! Definitely!”
His childhood line about growing up in the countryside with keen sensitivity to the air was the highlight.
Since MorningQ had a large viewership, the clip spread across all of Japan in an instant.
“Hey, did you see this?”
“What is it?”
“One of NewBlack’s mbers predicted snow differently from the teorological agency, and now Tokyo is absolutely buried in snow.”
“Whoa...”
High school students looking at their phones widened their eyes in surprise.
“Amazing.”
“I lived in the countryside too. Why don’t I have this ability?”
Colleagues at offices and restaurants were whispering about it.
Links to the Tube video titled “Did you see this?” were flying through ssengers.
At the sa ti, searches on Japanese sites skyrocketed.
“His intuition is incredible”
“How on earth can he predict sothing like that?”
“I was watching the morning show and they suddenly said it was going to snow, and it actually did!!”
“One Korean idol beats an entire teorological agency lol”
“Honestly human brains are basically supercomputers. Maybe he’s that kind of guy”
“He’s an insanely popular idol in Korea, right? Koreans must love it—accurate weather forecasts”
And it was true.
Every ti Junhyun said “It’s going to rain tomorrow” on Y-App Live, people grabbed their umbrellas.
When fans said, “Junhyun said it will rain tomorrow!” ordinary viewers heard it secondhand and thought, “Aha.”
His weather forecasts had beco a recurring topic in Korea.
