Chapter 831 Super Handsome
SM releases a "Subway Song" every week, but due to the uneven quality of the songs, most of them have mediocre performance and are not very popular.
However, the collaboration between different idols and the release of a new song every week are still very attractive to many people, so there are many people waiting here specifically when the songs are released at five or six o'clock every week.
This week, due to communication issues between SM and the advertising company, there was unusually no advance publicity, which aroused the curiosity and confusion of many people. When the time came, they went to SM’s official account to check.
But without any prior warm-up, not many people discovered this subway song at this time... The people who paid the most attention to this song across the entire peninsula were actually the few people who participated in the collaboration, especially Kang Seul-gi and Yoo Jeong-yeon, as well as their members.
At this time, Red Velvet was preparing to participate in the National University Festival and was in the official rest area. Although Kang Seul-ki had watched the MV before, she was still refreshing her phone. The other people were doing similar actions, including Bae Joo-hyun, who was doing the same to support her sister.
Similarly, at this moment, all nine members of Twice are in the backstage lounge of Music Bank, waiting for the performance.
But even though the live broadcast of "Music Bank" has already begun and everyone may be notified to wait at any time, everyone is still sitting together in groups of three or four, all waiting for the release of the collaboration song.
They have been looking forward to this collaboration song with the participation of their own members for a long time. They can be said to be the group of people who pay the most attention to it, even more than those fans.
At this time, everyone's mentality was a little different. Some wanted to see their boyfriends, some wanted to see Ji Jingyuan, some were curious about the MV that Yu Jeongyeon had been praising, and some wanted to see how the song performed and how much impact it would have on the members' popularity...
Some, like Momo Hirai, feel a little different at this moment because she is also working with Kim Heechul... Although she acted relaxed and nonchalant before, she is working with artists from SM company after all, and they all fall into the category of subway songs. Although she only participated in the filming of the MV, she naturally has the idea of comparison.
They are both SM artists, and they are both collaborating on subway songs. If the quality and performance of Yu Jeongyeon's song far exceeds hers, even if others don't say anything... she will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Everyone has different thoughts but they are all waiting. Apart from their own comeback, it has been a long time since everyone has paid so much attention to a song.
“It’s public!”
Lin Nayeon, who shared a mobile phone with Yu Jeongyeon, suddenly shouted crisply, then squeezed to the side, pulled up an earphone and put it on her ear, logged into the YouTube link, and started playing the MV directly, while still communicating with Yu Jeongyeon in a low voice.
“Have you seen the MV before?”
"I've seen the first edition, but I haven't made the final version yet. After it's finished..."
Before she could finish, it was clearly Nayeon who brought up the topic, but after the music started, the older sister interrupted her with a righteous gesture to silence her. Yu Jeongyeon was choked in the middle of her words and looked at Nayeon who was already watching the MV seriously, and then lowered her head.
"Boom~boom~boom~"
As soon as the rhythmic electronic music prelude accompanied by the drum beats enters your ears, you can't help but shake your head along.
“really really really really ~~”
“really really really really ~~”
After the prelude, the scene remains at a bird's-eye view of a square. Before any characters appear, Chi Jingyuan's opening has already reached the ears. The usually familiar voice now has a strange lazy texture, and it sounds like one has just woken up, or is lazily basking in the sun on a recliner.
Together with the brisk drum beats just now, it’s just a beginning. The temperament of the whole song has formed a basic impression in the minds of the audience at the beginning, which seems to make people’s mood relax unconsciously.
"Where are you? At home~"
"Come out if you're not busy."
"I'm at your door, I have something to say to you~"
As the song gives people the first impression, the scene changes and the four singers, Ji Kyung-won, Oh Se-hun, Kang Seul-gi, and Yoo Jeong-yeon, appear in front of the camera. The four of them stand back to back, forming an irregular diamond-shaped position.
They swayed their bodies gently to the music. Everyone was relaxed, moving in a simple manner, singing their parts while facing the camera that was so close to them.
At this time, the camera moves slowly around the four people at a 45-degree upward angle, showing each person's appearance clearly and completely in front of everyone.
In the black and white tones, Chi Jingyuan was wearing a neat pure black suit with white lining, with his hands in his pockets. He stood in front of the camera in a very relaxed manner, nodding his head lightly with the music, and the dark tie on his chest was blown by the wind, floating horizontally in front of his chest, and his laziness became more and more obvious.
He has appeared in suits many times at various award ceremonies and on the red carpet, but he still looks very stylish and has a bit of a ruffian vibe.
Kang Seul-gi and Yoo Jeong-yeon, who have hardly had similar looks since their debut, are even more eye-catching.
Especially Yu Jeongyeon, she also wore a pure black suit, but the style was more slim-fitting. Although she was thin, she still held up the suit very well. The lines of her body and the superior shoulder breadth made her look very tasteful.
Her face was calm, and because of the strong wind, she squinted her eyes slightly. Her black eyeliner, light expression and slightly raised mouth corners gave her a hint of abstinence, and the light-colored silk scarf-style tie tied around her simple neckline added the finishing touch.
She looked directly into the camera, her silk scarf tie, wide trouser legs, and short black hair dancing in the wind, forming an impressive classic composition.
"omo!"
Lin Nayeon, who was watching carefully, couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing this scene: "This... is so handsome."
It wasn't just her. The nine members of Twice were all watching at about the same pace. Many people saw this shot. At this moment, several members sitting in different positions all looked towards Yu Jeongyeon at the same time.
Is this kid/unnie so handsome?
Feeling the change in the atmosphere around her, Yu Jeongyeon felt relieved. She held back her laughter and pretended to be calm. She patted Lin Nayeon, pointed at the screen, and whispered, "Keep watching! Jingyuan Oppa will be more handsome soon~"
Hearing this, Lin Nayeon glanced at her without leaving any trace, then quickly lowered her head and continued to stare at the screen.
The chorus at the beginning is eye-catching, and the dynamic music, handsome suits and the relaxed atmosphere everywhere give people a really good feeling.
"If my heart for you is money."
“Then I’m a billionaire.”
Under the gazes of Lim Nayeon and countless others, after the last line of the chorus ended, the camera that was originally shooting a panoramic view suddenly zoomed in, and Chi Jingyuan, who had been standing on the side, slowly walked from the crowd of dancers into the camera and stood slightly to the left.
He stared into the camera quietly, his scattered bangs blown all over his face, and his eyes between his brows were dark and deep.
At this moment, the smooth music suddenly stopped for a moment. The next second, when everything was quiet, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the camera. His magnetic voice reached everyone's ears:
"Then please wah hey~ (I like you)"
As soon as this sentence fell, the stopped music suddenly sounded again and officially entered the chorus stage, as if fireworks bloomed brilliantly after quietly breaking through the night sky.
“really really really really ~~”
“really really really really ~~”
However, although it was already the chorus, many people who were watching the MV, especially the countless other female fans, were still immersed in the shot of Chi Jingyuan just now. The deep gaze at that moment and the words "then please wah hey" still kept echoing in their ears.
This……
The same goes for Lim Nayeon. After a moment of distraction, she also felt the smirking eyes of Yoo Jeongyeon next to her. She finally understood what the so-called "more handsome" meant.
Why are you trying to be cool... and you're still saying 'I like you'.
How contrived!
……
At this time, Zhou Ziyu was also staring at the constantly changing screen. Although it was the next shot, she was still completely immersed in the previous scene.
If Kim Da Hyun wasn't there sharing a phone with her, she wouldn't have wanted to watch the rest of the movie and really wanted to rewind and watch it again.
Then please wow~
This line of lyrics kept echoing in her ears, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she smiled foolishly, sitting there laughing.
Ming Jingnan on the other side of the lounge seemed much more natural. After all, they had already confirmed their relationship. She was just feeling proud of her boyfriend because he was so handsome. She was thinking about sending him a text message later to tell him about it or act coquettishly or something like that.
She glanced at Chou Tzuyu not far away without leaving a trace, then quickly retracted her gaze. When she was about to say something to the little sister next to her to exchange ideas about watching the video, she found that Minatozaki Sana was still with her head down, seemingly watching the MV very seriously.
She blinked, stopped talking, and moved closer to continue reading.
“really really really really ~~”
Objectively speaking, this shot of Chi Jingyuan is amazing, but the subsequent chorus and group dance part is equally wonderful.
Accompanied by the rhythmic melody and the addictive chorus, the four idols and dozens of dancers danced freely in the wide square.
The movements are simple and there are no difficult ones. It seems no different from square dancing.
But under the black and white color scheme, there is the very distinctive choreography, the handsome and uniform suits, the relaxed expressions and movements, the messy hair and hems blown by the wind, and the shadows dancing along on the ground.
All the elements come together at this moment, which is really beautiful.
Then the scene changed, the venue changed, and Chi Jingyuan and the other three changed into new clothes.
Black ripped casual pants, canvas shoes, and rivet decorations on the body, a hip-hop street style instantly comes to the fore.
Just now they were four lazy and handsome men and women in suits, but now they turned into four ruffian-like street teenagers, chatting with a few dancing girls on the rooftop to the sound of music.
"I spent a long time choosing this outfit, and it was Jingyuan Oppa who came up with the idea..."
Before Lim Nayeon could praise, Yu Jeongyeon's voice came from the side.
Then came the second chorus, and this time there was another "Then please wah hey~", but a different person sang this part. After having just experienced Chi Jingyuan's stunning scene, I couldn't help but become much calmer at this time.
After pushing and pulling with the dancers, the four of them got into the vintage car parked nearby. It was a convertible sports car with a very retro style. The camera even lingered on the Mercedes logo in front.
The camera switches, and the car is driving on a broad highway. The endless mountains and rivers in the distance make people feel open-minded. The setting sun in the sky and the sunset glow on the horizon exude a weird and retro beauty under the interpretation of black and white tones.
Under the sunset, a close-up of Chi Jingyuan driving appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing a pair of somewhat funny round sunglasses, with one hand on the car door and the other hand easily fiddling with the steering wheel. His entire hair was blown upside down by the wind.
...Seeing this scene, Minatozaki Sana couldn't help but pursed her lips twice.
How come she didn't realize last time that Chi Jingyuan drove so handsomely...
Yoo Jeongyeon and Kang Seulgi sat in the back seat of the convertible, with their arms raised high, indulgently expressing their enthusiasm. With their hip-hop outfits and sunglasses, the sense of freedom and unbridledness that came from their hearts jumped onto the screen.
Lin Nayeon really loves this shot of Yu Jeongyeon. The style that is revealed in the whole picture makes her really envious.
At the end of the MV, when the chorus came, everyone returned to the spacious underground parking lot. The four idols stood among dozens of dancers. Everyone moved in unison. The movements were so magical that people wanted to imitate them.
Ji Kyung-won, Oh Sehun, Kang Seul-gi and Yoo Jeong-yeon were lined up at the front, showing their enthusiasm freely under the support of the dancers. Every move was perfectly in time with the beat, clean and neat, yet very neat. With the four of them either pretending to be cool or laughing, the handsome and lazy temperament of the whole song was completely released.
"I really, really really~"
"Yeah~
"I like you"
At the end of the MV, Chi Jingyuan walked a few steps forward to the center of the camera, raised his eyebrows, and sang the last line of lyrics to the camera as if he was laughing. Then the camera slowly zoomed away, he turned around, leaving his back, and walked towards the other three companions.
As the four people laughed and high-fived each other, the camera began to slow down, and white square fonts appeared on the screen.
Really really
Arrangement, composition, lyrics: Yuan
Then, along with the iconic sound effects, the SM LOGO finally appeared and the whole MV ended.
The MV ended and the music was over, but the lounge fell into an eerie silence. No one in Twice spoke, except for a few who seemed to be still immersed in the music. All the other members couldn't help but keep their eyes on Yu Jeongyeon.
Whether this song is good or not is not a comment, they have heard it from Yu Jeongyeon a long time ago, and everyone has a different opinion.
But the MV was shot really... unexpectedly well. The overall temperament and the special black and white tones were refreshing, and Chi Jingyuan and the other four in it were also extremely impressive.
Not to mention Ji Kyung-won... Yu Jeongyeon's performance in the film really surprised many Twice members.
Of course, the other members of Twice are very familiar with this sister in the same team. I have heard her say before that she thought the MV was well-shot and the choreography and outfits were very cool, but I was just listening at the time.
Now that I've watched it, I realize...
It's really not just about being handsome, what's more important is that Yu Jeongyeon showed a side of herself that she never showed when she was in Twice.
From the close-up of her face at the beginning of the MV, to her freestyle in the convertible in the back, to the group dance at the end, it can be seen that she not only did not become a backup dancer for TOP idols like Chi Jingyuan who is always the center of attention, but also stole the spotlight and showed her own charm.
Even her teammates, who were with her day and night and had no filters on her, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that she was really charming in this collaboration song.
Even they think it looks good, what about others, what about the fans...
Although the song has just been released and there has not been any major changes in the popularity ranking within Twice, many members have already anticipated it and are feeling inexplicably complicated.
However, the delicate atmosphere did not last long and was soon broken.
“Wow, Jeongyeon! That’s really Yu Jeongyeon in the MV!!” Lin Nayeon was the first to come back to her senses. She stared at Yu Jeongyeon with wide eyes and surprise, feeling that this little sister who was closest to her suddenly seemed a little strange.
“Hahahaha…” Yu Jeongyeon laughed out loud at the compliment, her eyes curved, and she could no longer pretend to be reserved.
Park Ji Hyo was also surprised and commented: "This MV is well shot, there are not too many complicated places, but it makes people feel very handsome, the people are also handsome, the dance is also handsome, I don't know why... Also, this black and white color scheme is also very interesting."
"Many parts of the MV were discussed by Jingyuan Oppa and the director. This PD is amazing. He was the one who suggested the black and white color scheme."
"Ouni, you actually rapped! That scene was so cool!"
"Qingjia? Originally I didn't have any rap lyrics, but when we were sorting out the lyrics, Jingyuan Oppa asked me if I wanted to try rap, and then he specially sorted out a few lines for me..."
The scene soon became lively. After watching the entire MV, Yu Jeongyeon was very surprised by the effect she performed in it. She answered various curious questions from other members with a smile on her face.
"Get ready, we're about to go on stage."
At this time, manager Kim Sang-min came in from outside, clapped his hands and gave a reminder. Then he heard their discussion and immediately responded, "Oh, the collaboration song between Jeongyeon and Kyungwon-xi has been released. What do you think of it?"
"Jeongyeon is so handsome in it. I was moved after watching it. She will definitely be very popular... The MV was filmed very well, and the other seniors are also very handsome."
Without worrying about popularity, Lin Nayeon, who was most happy for her little sister, stood up and shouted excitedly.
After saying that, she turned back to look at Yu Jeongyeon, raised her eyebrows artificially, and stretched out her fingers to imitate greasy words: "Then please wow~"
"Hahaha……"
"That's great..." Jin Shangmin nodded happily after hearing this:
"The song has just been released so we can't see the results. We'll see where it ranks after the performance. Even though it's just a subway song, it's a collaboration between several popular idols, and with Jingyuanxi in the mix, it's sure to be pretty good..."
As he spoke, he remembered something, and under the subtle gazes of the other members, he looked at Yu Jeongyeon and reminded her: "If your performance is really good and your popularity increases a lot, Jeongyeon, you must remember to thank Jingyuanxi..."
"Of course, I know, Oppa."
